Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff with Orzo

BBC Good Food's cozy midweek one-pot — seared chicken thighs and mushrooms simmered with smoky paprika, Dijon, and Worcestershire in a creamy sour-cream stroganoff sauce, with orzo cooked right in the broth. Ready in 45 minutes, comfort in a bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 250g mushrooms
  • 2 large chicken thigh fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 200g orzo
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • 10g fresh parsley
  • 4 tbsp sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and sear the chicken thighs until golden on both sides; remove and set aside.
  2. Add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic to the same pan and saute until softened and the mushrooms have released their moisture. Stir in the Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Add the orzo and pour in the chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the orzo is tender and the liquid has mostly absorbed.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan, stir in the sour cream and chopped parsley, and simmer until warmed through and the sauce is creamy. Serve hot.
