Welcome to our delicious and healthy recipe for Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff. This dish combines tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and a creamy sauce, all prepared quickly in one skillet. It’s perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner that the whole family will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become tender, approximately 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the paprika, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing well to create a creamy sauce. Heat through but do not boil to prevent curdling. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This healthy skillet chicken and mushroom stroganoff pairs well with whole grain rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables. It provides a balanced meal rich in protein and fiber, perfect for maintaining a healthy diet.
Tips for Success
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier, protein-packed option.
