Chicken Stronganoff


The last time that we were in Idaho, Justin's Mom made this yummy little recipe for dinner.  Justin and I loved it and the kids seemed to think it was all right as well.  We'll definitely be making it around here from time to time.  It originally came from the Taste of Home cooking site.

  • 4 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 jars (4-1/2 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
  • Hot cooked noodles
  • Additional paprika, optional

  • In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings; set bacon aside.
  • In the drippings, cook the chicken, onion and mushrooms until the chicken is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the broth, salt, paprika, pepper and bacon. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Combine flour and sour cream until smooth; add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with noodles. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
