This homemade chicken stroganoff recipe is ready in 25 minutes flat. It’s so quick and easy to cook from scratch, there’s no need to make chicken stroganoff with cream of mushroom soup!

The Ingredients

Ground Chicken. Using lean ground chicken in this recipe is one of my favorite healthy hacks. It’s still plenty flavorful and works perfectly in this recipe. Mushrooms. This stroganoff sauce is made of mushrooms, giving it a complexity of flavor that suggests you spent hours making it, instead of minutes. Mushrooms are packed with antioxidants and fiber. All-Purpose Flour. All-purpose flour is how you make stroganoff thicker. It helps create the luscious sauce that makes this dish ultra comforting. Whole Wheat Egg Noodles. To keep things light, I opted for whole wheat egg noodles. They have a scrumptious texture and pair perfectly with the creamy sauce. 2% Greek Yogurt. Along with the flour, Greek yogurt makes stroganoff thicker. It also adds delicious tang. Plus, Greek yogurt is packed with protein, which helps make this dish more satisfying.

Herbs + Spices. How you add flavor to stroganoff! Because ground chicken is fairly bland on its own, to give the dish plenty of pizzazz, I used a blend of spices you will always find in my pantry: black pepper, salt, dried thyme, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
