This Chicken Stroganoff has a thick and savory sauce with large chunks of seasoned chicken and tons of earthy mushroom slices. Definitely bursting with flavor! If you prefer beef, try my Beef Stroganoff.
Chicken Stroganoff
We like to take our time with this Chicken Stroganoff recipe. Allowing the dish to simmer gives the flavors time to soak into the chicken and will make you want to savor every last bite. Make sure to have some bread around to sop up any leftover sauce! Check out this amazing recipe for no yeast breadsticks. They are perfect to sop up the leftover gravy! Season with garlic salt for an amazing pairing!

Also, we love to use our leftovers when we make slow cooker rotisserie chicken in this recipe. The seasonings from the rotisserie chicken blend great with the gravy in this chicken stroganoff recipe.
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff
If you were hoping to make this in the slow cooker you are in luck. You basically just skip cooking the chicken.
Follow these directions for Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff:
- In a crockpot, add the chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper and mix to coat evenly.
- In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened.
- Next, drop in the garlic and cook until fragrant, which will take about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned.
- Stir in the butter until melted and scrape any brown crust from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the flour and stir until no lumps remain. Add this mixture to the crockpot, along with the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
Chicken Stroganoff with Rice
The great debate, noodles, or rice. We serve it over egg noodles, homemade or store-bought, but it’s just as delicious over rice. We recommend using Jasmine, but any variety of long grain rice will work.

This looks so good, and probably a good recipe to adapt for instant pot cooking. Have you tried this with chicken thighs? I like them so much better than breast meat, which tends to dry out easily. I imagine one would only have to cook thighs a bit longer. Thank you for sharing this!
Nutritional info?
What non dairy substitute can be used instead of the sour cream?
Plain Greek yogurt can be subbed for a few less calories. Just don’t use day free because the sauce will be very watery and thin. Fat is flavor as long as you practice moderation. You can also sub chicken broth for wine in any recipe
How many carbs is this recipe?
Did you calculate the nutrition? Specifically the Macros & calories? I don’t want to do it if it’s already been done???? thank you
Can the sour cream be substituted with non-dairy, plain yogurt? I have some severely lactose intolerant folks in my house.
Yes, that would also work!
They do make a lactose free sour cream. its a little pricey but your tummy will thank you.
This recipe was so good it will be part of my meals more often thank for it
What would be better ! Cooking white wine or drinking white wine?
I am sure that cooking with white wine might give you a giggle, but I think drinking it is much more entertaining
….
Sorry. I could not resist ????
Love it, that’s why I Cook with it so I can drink it also…..that makes a good cook and creativity flow,
Never cook with a wine that you wouldn’t drink. Try a nice Chardonnay… gives a beautiful flavor!
Joanie I was always told that, however, I don’t like to drink Red Zin….but I love to cook with it….I know weird….lol
Hi: I have always heard that drinking wine is always the best way to go. The Food Network Chefs always say.. “Never put in your recipe any wine ( or alcohol ) that you would not drink. 🙂 I hope this helps. As I don’t drink, I always by the smaller bottles of wine that come in four. I boil the wine before I introduce it into a sauce. Good Luck!!!
I love this recipe as is but I need to substitute the mushrooms sadly. What do you recommend?
Just leave them out. 🙂
Water chestnuts work really well..give a nice crunchy taste and mix well w everything in the receipt
Please send this chicken stroganoff recipe to my mail box, can’t wait to try it
When u do a recipe that has alcohol plz always put what u could use instead of it
So what can be used instead of the wine
Thank You
The alcohol evaporates, if that’s why you don’t want to use it.
It helps to tenderize the meat. It’s not about the alcohol and you won’t taste it
I can’t use Worcestershire Sauce. Is there anything I can use to substitute?
I like this recipe and I’ll try to make it
I just made this…and it smells/looks wonderful. The recipe was easy to follow…but my final product was kind of bland considering the amount of seasoning. I actually increased the wine by a tablespoon or two because I like the flavor…but after simmering, the strongest flavor was the heat from the cayenne pepper. If I were to do it over I think I’d add more salt and reduce the cayenne or leave it out all together. I was hoping to find a new family recipe, but my kids are against anything “spicy.” Knowing that, I still wanted to follow the recipe to see if it was needed for flavor.
I really wish these recipes would give the amount of people served . Another person has asked this question but no reply
Actually, it does say. Right under the cook and prep times. Serves 4.
It says serves 4 right at the top.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
1 pound of chicken can serve 4 people when it’s accompanied with egg noodles or rice. If in doubt, add 1/2 lb of chicken to the recipe. You don’t have to increase anything else. That will do for four servings with extra!
This recipe is FAULTY!! THere is no instruction as to what to do with the mixed spices!! Does anyone proofread these recipes???
In the first step you mix the chicken with the spices.
Good thing you were up late to help old Harlan proof read the recipe! My dumb question is what’s the best way to print these recipes other than paper and pencil.
At the very bottom of the recipe there is a button to print:)
printing wont work for me
You can take picture with phone as well and save to a file
I’ve been sending recipes to myself in Messenger. Now all of my fav recipes are in one place!
the spices are mixed with the chicken….chicken is the first thing it says before the spices.
Did you read the directions?
How many does this recipe for stroganoff serve?
It says serve 4 at the top before the ingredients
Looks delicious! I will have to try and make this chicken stroganoff! Thanks for sharing.
Would like your chicken stroganoff recipe.
Nice one have never tried it bt iwill do
I would love your chicken stroganoff recipe thanks
Looks delish would love the recipe like your chocolate brownie cake also
That looks amazing! I have a question about the blue pan used in the video. What brand is it? I am in search of a good pan that will go from stove top to oven. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lisa
I use a cast iron pan for everything. Straight from stove top to oven
Exactly or All Clad is a really good alternative or Lacruset but they are expensive.
LeCruset ! 6-7 qt. Dutch oven is my “go to” for soups, stews, chuck roast, low and slow cooking. (Braising) THE best!!!!!!! Yummmmm.
Hit a TJ Maxx, Marshall or Home Goods. If you don’t mind it being a one off of the rest of your cookware… they have amazing prices on high end pieces. I never went wrong buying a piece made in Italy or Germany.
The dutch ovens are so heavy with out food in them.
What could be substituted for the wine? I don’t use it.
I didn’t use the wine when I cooked it and it came out just as good!
I used regular white vodka. Works too,
Nice to know I don’t need the white wine, thanks.
Would this serve 6 adults for a supper meal? What would you pair with it?
If you don’t want to use wine, but want the tang that wine provides and the tenderizing that occurs when meat cooks in wine, you can usually substitute white grape juice for white wine, and cranberry juice for red wine.
Thanks never new that
Apple juice is a good substitute for wine
Only if you want the sauce sweet. This recipe (chicken stroganoff) isn’t really intended to be sweet. Chicken stock.
Can you use the crock pot to cook everything, except the noodles?
Crock pot WILL NOT saute, so nothing will turn that nice brown color.
I don’t recommend.
You can use an Instant Pot if you have one.
Chicken broth can be subbed in any recipe if you don’t care for wine. Also plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. In most cooked recipes try not to use “fat free” sour cream or yogurt. Your sauce will be very thin and watery. Texture is lost. Save the day free stuff for chilled dressings and dips!
I find that fat free sour cream stands up better in cooking, and that regular sour cream gets watery is it’s heated the least bit.
White vinegar is a good substitute.
Maybe chicken broth that is what I am going to do
Apple juice is a good substitute for white wine
I make regular Beef Stroganoff and don’t use wine…..it would just as good…
Can you use this recipe but use beef instead of chicken
Vodka
Smart guy!
Chicken broth.
All the alcohol in wine cooks out so why an objection.?
Not all of the alcohol cooks out.
Some folks don’t like to open a whole bottle of wine for a small recipe. Perhaps they’re not big wine drinkers, either. I like wine occasionally, but I don’t drink a whole lot, so if I used wine for cooking, it would have to be when I’m in the mood for it to drink it, have multiple recipes I’m preparing that calls for wine, or there’s somebody else there that can help drink the leftover wine.
I used red wine vinegar and it came out delicious!
