1 to 2 lbs. of chicken boneless breast or tenderloins cut into bite size pieces
1 to 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
1 32 oz. tub of sour cream
1 stick of butter or cooking spray to brown the chicken
½ to ¾ cup of milk (depending on thickness of stroganoff desired)
1 tsp. or tbsp. (depending on your taste) of each of the following spices: parsley, garlic (minced or powder), Creole seasoning or seasoned salt and pepper
Cooked Rice (enough to serve the crew!)
Step1
Cook the chicken in a skillet with butter or cooking spray until nice and golden brown. Add half of your spices during the browning, as they will stick to the meat, and distribute throughout your sauce in the end.
Step2
In a stockpot at medium heat, add the chicken and the rest of the spices and mix together. Do not drain any liquid. The liquid made from the chicken is the base for your sauce.
Step3
Add to the mixture one to two cans of cream of mushroom soup.
Step4
Mix the soup in well, being sure to stir in any lumps.
Step5
Once the soup is mixed in well, Add the sour cream by folding it into the chicken and soup. If there was not a lot of liquid formed from the chicken, add milk to thin the sauce to your liking. Some like it thinner, as the rice soaks it up. Some like it thick like spaghetti sauce. It is your choice as the chef.
Tips & Warnings
Keep stirring the sauce at a low temp once the sour cream is added. It will stick if you don’t watch it.
Add fresh mushrooms once the chicken is browned, and sauté them with the chicken. You may need to add more butter to create more flavor and juice from the mushrooms and chicken.
Serve with a green veggie, salad or sweet corn and biscuits. This is a great treat and something different.
