Chicken Stroganoff Recipe

My sister-in-law loves my Hamburger Stroganoff from the Skinnytaste Fast and Slow Cookbook, but her daughter doesn’t like beef, which inspired me to try it with ground chicken. I made a few tweaks to my original recipe and served it over egg noodles (also great over roasted spaghetti squash). It was a winner in my house for all ages, from my picky young nieces to my husband. For a more traditional stroganoff recipe, you might enjoy my Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff recipe.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I grew up on beef stroganoff, so I’m surprised how much I loved it with ground chicken instead of beef! Here’s why it works:

  • Healthy: My chicken version is much lighter than traditional stroganoff. It’s packed with protein and under 250 calories.
  • Easy: This simple chicken stroganoff comes together quickly, and most of the cooking time is hands-off while the sauce simmers.
  • Kid-Friendly: Pasta is usually a crowd-pleaser for children. If they don’t love mushrooms, it’s easy to pick around them and just serve them chicken and pasta.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you need to make chicken stroganoff. See exact measurements in recipe card below.

  • Cream: Water, sour cream, all-purpose or gluten-free flour, chicken bouillon, paprika
  • Chicken: I used one pound of 93% ground chicken.
  • Onion: Chop a half cup of white or yellow onion.
  • Flavor: Salt, pepper, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce all enhance the flavor of the Stroganoff.
  • Mushrooms: Slice eight ounces of Cremini mushrooms (also called baby bellas).
  • Herbs: Let the thyme sprigs simmer in the sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Noodles: Serve chicken Stroganoff over egg noodles, or swap them with high-fiber or gluten-free pasta. Also great over veggie noodles or roasted spaghetti squash.

How to Make Chicken Stroganoff

Here’s the step-by step directions to make this easy recipe. See print friendly directions in recipe card below.

  1. Creamy Stroganoff Sauce: Blend water, sour cream, flour, bouillon, and paprika until smooth.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet on high heat and spray with oil. Add the chicken and salt and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces.
  3. Remaining Ingredients: Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and tomato paste to the pan, and cook until soft. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and Worcestershire.
  4. Simmer: Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring it to a boil. Cover and cook on low for 35 to 45 minutes until tender. When the sauce is ready, discard the thyme, garnish with parsley, and serve over noodles.

Variations

  • Protein: Substitute chicken for ground turkey or beef.
  • Mushrooms: Swap cremini for white button mushrooms. If you’re not a mushroom fan, omit them and add another veggie, like peas, zucchini, or bell pepper.
  • Sour Cream Swap: Use plain Greek yogurt.
  • Herbs: Sub rosemary for thyme. And instead of garnishing with parsley, use more thyme or chives.
  • Noodles: If you don’t have egg noodles, other small pasta shapes, like rotini or fusilli, will work. Or, if you want to keep the carbs low, try it with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
  • Gluten-Free Stroganoff: Use gluten-free noodles and flour.

  1. We really like this recipe. I just find that it needs more seasoning. My go-to seasoning is Trader Joe’s Umami Seasoning and I also spiced it up, just a bit, with a sharp paprika. Served over cauliflower mashed potatoes that are mostly cauliflower.

  2. Just needs DILL!
    I made this recipe as written and tasted it before serving, and it needed something. I added a good amount of dried dill (didn’t have fresh) and that authenticated the stroganoff flavor I felt it needed. Nice easy comforting weeknight dish. Oh. . . I also didn’t drag out my blender to make the slurry sauce, and it was fine just using a whisk in a large measuring cup. Love Gina’s recipes. Thanks

  3. This was delicious and even better the second day! This will definitely be part of the rotation 🙂

  4. Love this recipe & have made it several times. My husband who is not a chicken lover has even asked to have it again & again. Easy to make & have even frozen it minus the noodles for a quick ready made dinner when needed.

  5. Great recipe used no fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and did not think I was sacrificing on taste. Doubled the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, omitted additional salt. Have made twice and serve over farro.

  6. I made this yesterday and it was so delicious! I did figure out that I could make it all ahead, leaving out the sour cream and stir it in at the end when I warmed it up for dinner. It was perfect! I did make one addition, I added chopped garlic! I use garlic frequently!! Another Skinny taste keeper!

  7. Can I prep this recipe ahead of time and bake later? Love your recipes! I have one of your cookbooks!?

    I love this recipe. I eat spaghetti squash, don’t love it but its healthy. Well with this recipe I actually look forward to making the squash because this deliciousness is the topping!

  9. I liked this dish and loved how easy it was! My husband found it lacking in flavor- he is recovering from a nasty cold so that may be the reason.
    I did not have fresh thyme so I used dry-maybe I need a little more? I may also add some garlic and more bouillon.
    Since it’s just 2 of us I will probably cut the recipe in half next time.

  10. I make this all the time. It is amazing just as written. If I have celery and carrot around, I include them finely diced with the onion as a mirepoix.

    This recipe was a hit! SO delicious and super easy to make. I would make a little more sauce next time and chop the mushrooms smaller, but other than that, it’s perfect!

  12. This was so easy and a great change from ground beef. Fabulous flavor even without the sweet paprika. I will make this a lot more often!

  13. This was such a quick and delicious recipe. I changed it up a bit but it still turned out great. Instead of chicken bullion I added one packet of organic chicken gravy mix. I also omitted the mushrooms because I don’t like them and instead added one can, drained, brown lentils. I added that to the cooking of the chicken and they broke down and just dissolved into the chicken. So my daughter, who is a picky eater, won’t even know she’s eating lentils. Will definitely keep this in rotation.

  14. This is my first time using ground chicken and it was very good! I swear, Gina never disappoints! This one will be on our rotation for sure.

  15. Amazing taste! I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, ketchup instead of tomato paste and I cooked the onions added the chicken cooked until half done and then added the sauce and egg noodles to cook.

  16. This is one of my favorite recipes using ground chicken! I don’t like mushrooms so I chop them very tiny which makes the texture bearable. I also add a teaspoon of better than bouillon to finish the sauce. LOVE this recipe!

  17. I used 2% plain Greek yogurt and added more liquid. At the end I added about 1/2 c of froz peas and carrots. We both enjoyed.

  18. I decided not to make more sauce, added some crushed garlic and a little more Worcestershire. It was fantastic!!

  19. Love this fairly simple recipe! I modified it by adding another tsp each of worch and bouillion. Comes out creamy and doesn’t taste like its healthy!

    The Chicken Stroganoff is delicious! I really enjoy the flavor profile. It is likely to be on the menu rotation often! this is a easy weeknight dinner.

  21. Fantastic and very flexible recipe! I substituted ground bison for the chicken because that’s what I had on hand. So tasty!

      Thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the chicken stroganoff! It’s one of my favorite comfort food dinners too—easy, high-protein, and so flavorful. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

    I was disappointed with the lack of flavor and watery/broth like sauce on this one. Maybe it was my error; I can honestly say I make something from Skinny Taste every week (for years now) and usually LOVE the outcome; recipes are typically my go-to and always a pleaser! I think this one just missed the mark (again, maybe it was me) but we found it a little bland.

  23. This chicken stroganoff was so good — easily a new favorite in our dinner rotation. I don’t even usually like leftovers, but this dish completely changed that. The flavors somehow got even better the next day, and we ended up eating every last bit.

    I followed the recipe almost exactly, just added 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic for extra depth. I also recommend using fresh thyme if you can — it makes a noticeable difference and really brightens up the dish.

    Super comforting, full of flavor, and easy to make. Will definitely be making this again (and again)!

      I’m glad you enjoyed the flavors in this chicken stroganoff! If the chicken felt overcooked, sometimes using chicken breast instead of 93% lean ground chicken can make it a bit drier. And for the sauce, simmering uncovered for a few extra minutes will usually thicken it right up. Thanks so much for sharing your experience—it’s always helpful for other readers too.

  24. Can’t wait to make this! I am sensitive to tomatoes, what is a good replacement for the tomato paste, that doesn’t include peppers, tomatoes, white potatoes, or egg plant 🙂 Thanks!

      1. Recipe was delicious! 9.75 out of 10 from my kids, the .25 off was because I didn’t have grated parmesan cheese =)

  25. So delicious! My family really enjoyed this meal. Will be on my regular dinner rotation for sure 😊

  26. Can I ask a question please? I need more fiber, what’s your suggestion on how many peas to add so that there’s still enough sauce. I love mushrooms so can also add more? Thanks.

  27. I am about to make this and have a quick question- is the cook time accurate? That seems like a long time for ground meat, which typically cooks pretty quickly ?!

  28. To any reviewer who says this isn’t stroganoff, I would just say, “Who cares?” It’s easy and just delicious – plate licking worthy, for sure!

  29. I made this recipe with ground turkey. It was quick and easy but the flavour was deep and complex. Will definitely add this to our regular rotation.

  30. We did not love this. Made per recipe. Thinking it needed more flavor. We usually love all the recipes.

    Made it last night. Super simple and a new family favorite! Made with ground turkey and no mushrooms.

  32. Great recipe. Used a combo of chicken thigh meat and minced chicken. Served on pumpkin mash. Thank you.

  33. This is such a delicious recipe! I used ground turkey and served it over egg noodles.
    We love skinnytaste recipes!

  34. I’m confused about points. When I click the WW button it says 2 but in the comments people are saying 7. Also is 2 ounces of pasta dry or cooked? Looking forward to making this. My husband always wants Skinny Taste. We love your recipes. Thank you.

    1. Its 2 points for the sauce. Noodles are extra so it depends on how much you use. I use 2 oz dry per person.

  35. I have your Fast and Slow cookbook and I’m not finding your Hamburger Stroganoff recipe in it……..

    We licked our plates clean on this one. After reading some of the comments, I added a half tsp of paprika and a little onion powder to the chicken and doubled the sauce. The sauce is really good, so I’m glad I did. I served over spiralized zucchini noodles and half egg noodles.

  37. This was the strangest stroganoff I have ever had. It didn’t taste like anything, least of all stroganoff. I think it was the tomato paste. I enjoy a lot of Skinnytaste recipes, but this one is a nope!

  38. This was a yummy satisfying meal. I doubled the mushrooms and think I could possibly triple it next time with more chicken and more sauce. Served over cauliflower rice.

  39. This was a really yummy recipe for ground chicken. I didn’t have fresh Thyme but a tiny sprinkle of ground thyme did the trick. Had to add more onion powder for flavor but otherwise very good.

  40. Family favorite! I like to double the sauce and mushrooms in the recipe – stretches a little further and more veggie! We serve it with a little pappardelle and Gina’s kale and brussels sprout salad. Delicious!

  41. this was super easy and delicious!! will definitely be making again. followed as written except didn’t have parsley and used dried herbs. another keeper!

  42. Gina, I previously made this and left a review but now that I’m actually following the WW program right now, I wanted to ask – does the 7 points include the egg noodles?

  43. I made this for dinner tonight. I would double the recipe next time. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I served my husband’s portion with noodles and I made zucchini noodles for myself. Next time I will add more mushrooms . I will make it again. Easy recipe to follow. Thanks!

  44. Just made this for my daughter and she told me to take the dish away before she ate it all up ….. which is a rare comment from a picky eater

  45. I used to make beef stroganoff all the time, but my husband can no longer eat red meat. So, I was excited when I saw this recipe. It’s extremely easy to make, and very delicious!

  46. This one’s a keeper! Absolutely delicious. I added 2 cloves of minced fresh garlic and sauteed with the onions. Can’t wait to make this again!

  47. This was FABULOUS! All I had was frozen turkey meatballs. I cooked them in the oven for 20 minutes at 350. Added them to the sauce when I added the mushrooms. I didn’t have Worcestershire sauce so I subbed liquid aminos. It turned out so good! Will definitely add to my rotation!

  48. I doubled the sauce and added half a bag of cooked egg noodles, it was amazing! Plus I have plenty of leftovers for lunch!

  49. This was easy and so delicious! I didn’t have any ground chicken so used chicken breast instead, cut into pieces. Everyone in my family loved this!

  50. Delicious and so easy to make. As many others did, I used plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I highly suggest making sure to use the sweet paprika as it can make a difference in the flavor. It was hard for me to find at my local stores, so I had to order from Amazon. Look for “Sweet Hungarian style paprika”

  51. I made this for my family last night and it was a hit! I used ground turkey instead (I’m sure you could use any ground meat) and the greek yogurt substitute. I also used the entire can of tomato paste, because why not? It was delicious and we will definitely make again!

  52. Easy to make and delicious. Substituted ground turkey for the chicken, didn’t add salt to the turkey and added about a cup of frozen peas toward the end. Will make it again.

  53. Wow! I didn’t think I was a stroganoff fan. Even though I always love Gina’s recipes, I had fairly low expectations for this one. Was I ever wrong!! Packed full of flavour and perfect texture. I served over egg noodles and it was a wonderfully filling meal for a cold winter evening. Definitely putting this one into my rotation.

  54. I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe one night when I was desperate for a comfort meal one night, and this did not disappoint. It had all the elements of a creamy stroganoff without the guilt. I look forward to this meal when ever the mushroom hating teen is not going to be home for dinner. It a true delight!

  55. A favorite, Easy to make and a comfort food. I used broth instead of water in the sauce and used nonfat plain Fage greek yogurt. This is good with any ground meat that you may have.

  56. Tried this one and the whole family loved it! I used the Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and added a little rosemary for aromatics! Thank you!

  57. This recipe was delicious, economical, and not at all difficult to make. I made it exactly as written and wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks Gina!

  58. Absolutely delicious! Made as directed, very flavorful and came together quickly. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the recipe!

  59. I made this tonight. It was a hit. A great way to switch up regular stroganoff and the sauce was very good. I will be making this again.

  60. I made this tonight and it was excellent!!! I swapped ground turkey for the chicken and added some bell pepper for color. Served with egg noodles & steamed broccoli on the side. Next, I’m trying the mushroom stroganoff. Thanks Gina for another easy & great recipe.

  61. I love stroganoff and this is by the best recipe! I love the thyme! And mixing the ingredients in a blender is brilliant!!!

  62. THIS! Such a great weeknight dinner that the whole family loves. The sauce is creamy without feeling like it’s overindulgent. Love the ground chicken as an alternative to beef stroganoff. This is on regular repeat in our house. Thank you for sharing a delicious and easy recipe!

  63. Love this recipe! I add some saffron to the cream blend and it makes it even more velvety delicious!

  64. I made this and substituted the sour cream with Greek yogurt since I always have it on hand and I saw someone else in the comments said the same. I ate this over chickpea pasta. I thought it was delicious. Easy to make I will definitely have it again.

  65. Easy to make and very tasty. I subbed Greek yogurt for the sour cream but otherwise followed the recipe as written.

  66. It was a moist but tasteless recipe. No flavor. No texture. I’m sorry to say I will definitely not recommend or make it again.

    1. I find the key with a lot of these ground meat recipes is to season the meat while you’re cooking them. Otherwise the meat is boring and kinda nothing filler.

  67. Only substitute I made was plain coconut yogurt in place of sour cream to accommodate dairy allergy. Will definitely make this again, was perfect for fall dinner!

  68. This was a fantastic weeknight meal! I subbed ground turkey for the chicken. I will definitely make this again!

  69. This was a crowd pleaser for my family. My husband is a big beef stroganoff fan so I was concerned that he wouldn’t like it but I was wrong – he loved it!

  70. Made this as written and it was delicious! I was a little skeptical if my kids, especially my picky eater would enjoy it, and both kids asked for seconds! I couldn’t believe it. The recipe is perfect for busy weekdays and so simple to make. Thank you!

  71. My husband said this is really good! Please make this again. I used light sour cream and ground chicken breast to lighten it up a little more.

  72. Easy and delicious. I served it over egg noodles. My husband and I restrained ourselves from having seconds.

  73. So tasty! I like the taste of beef so used beef boullion instead, and also added a handful of frozen peas to the noodles at the end of their cook time.

  74. This was so so good! I grew up eating beef stroganoff, so I was skeptical about using ground chicken. It was SO good, and so easy, I didn’t even miss the beef!!

  75. Flavor was great, but I wished the dish had more color. It may have been because I had only white button mushrooms, but the pasta and sauce were both very pale and somewhat unattractive. Would love to hear what others have done to brighten the dish up visually.

  76. This was delicious! Reminded me of a recipe my mom used to make.I used ground turkey and served it with rice. Think it would be better over palmini or some type of noodle- even on a bun would be good. Will definitely be making it again.

  77. This was very good! We used fat free greek yogourt instead of sour cream and served it over palmini Angel hair “noodles”.

  78. Great recipe! Super easy, great for a weeknight meal. I think the flavors were better the 2nd day. Kind of like lasagna better as the flavors blend together. Next time I will try it with shredded chicken breast.

  79. This was delicious and a quick dish to make. I had all the ingredients that I needed right in the kitchen.

  80. This was so good! I was hesitant about the tomato paste but follows recipe as written and am glad I did! My husband who sometimes doesn’t like ground turkey meals also really liked it. I’ll definitely make again.

  81. This was delicious! Served over zoodles for me and noodles for hubby. Like some others, I had and used turkey. Can’t thank you enough for all your wonderful recipes and this site, Gina. Am a long-time fan and follower!

  82. This was amazing and is now in our weekly rotation. I served it over 8 oz of egg noodles. I substituted zucchini for mushrooms since my husband doesn’t like mushrooms. I also omitted onion for the same reason but snuck in some onion powder. It was delicious! Can’t wait to try as meal prep.

  83. I made everything listed in ingredients except I used d ground Turkey and Dairy free sour cream and this recipe was DELICIOUS!!! This is going to be a regular meal to make frequently!! ❤️

  84. This recipe was delicious! Wow! So flavorful. It came together well and pretty quickly for a weeknight meal. Definitely recommend.

  85. The recipe for the sauce was very good and tasty. I would add stir occasionally while it’s simmering. I ended up having to switch to another pan because it was sticking to the bottom from not being scraped occasionally. I also think this would be really great on top of a potato and may do that next time. I feel like I incorporated too many noodles and mixed the sauce and noodles all together which I regret doing as the ratio was off. I recommend keeping the noodles and topping separate. Thank you!!

  86. My son and I really enjoyed this! It was fairly simple to put together and tasted awesome. I asked him if I should try it with beef one day and he said no-this was perfect!

  87. Easy to assemble, healthier version without compromising taste! Even the teenagers love it! Thank you.

    WHAT A SURPRISE! I DON’T LIKE MUSHROOMS, BUT THIS RECIPE IS DELICIOUS!!! WE HAD IT OVER HEARTS OF PALM PASTS BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN CARDBOARD AND WOULD HAVE TASTED WONDERFUL. THANK YOU!!

  89. Made with ground beef because that’s what I had on hand. Only other thing I would change is to double it because my family devoured it!

    Made this last night with ground turkey. So happy there’s just enough left for my lunch today.

  91. Yum yum yum. Can’t wait to make it again. I used ground chicken breast because that’s what I had. Did not have thyme or Parsely but made up for it with other added seasonings. Can’t recall what or how much exactly as I spice and measure with my heart. I did add some garlic powder to the blender with the sauce ingredients. My son loves beef stroganoff but said this one with chicken was even better!

  92. This was really tasty,I didn’t have sour cream and used Greek yogurt instead. I highly recommend it! I ate it with skinny pasta

  93. Ok I made this as written… and it was just somehow missing something… I am not sure what but I had a sweet potato on the side so I mixed that in and then it was good. I usually love all Gina’s recipes!

    1. I am amending my comment!!!!! I am eating the leftovers right now and still thinking something is just not right— my fault!!!! I used fresh herbs from my garden and DUH!!!! used a ton of ROSEMARY instead of THYME…. definitely DON’T DO THAT!

  94. I made this dish tonight and went back for seconds, YUM!
    Minor change: I did not have a chicken bouillon, so I used 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth instead of 1 cup of water.

    1. Ohhhh this is very helpful, I don’t usually have bouillon around because of the salt and it’s hard to find low salt bouillon around me, but I always have low sodium chicken broth. So happy to hear it worked well, thank you for posting and I can’t wait to try it this way!

      1. We are low sodium at our home too. I’ve found Herb Ox bouillon packets in no sodium at our grocery store. I use them often and are very good.

    2. Finally getting around to making this this week, two years later haha and found this reply. Thanks, Marci! I have a huge pack of the herb ox in my amazon cart of the chicken AND the beef now!

  95. Made this for dinner tonight so good, but my husband doesn’t like mushrooms so used bell peppers served over noodles

    Hi! This looks great! Haven’t tried it yet, but I had a question. Ground chicken cooks pretty quickly. Why does the sauce need to simmer so long? It says “until tender”. Until what is tender?

  97. Hi Gina-2 questions:

    Can I substitute dried thyme for the 2 fresh sprigs? And if so, how much dried thyme would I use?

    Can I use a mixer instead of a blender to combine the ingredients and step 1? Thank you:)

    1. Since so many reviews seem to ask questions I figure I’ll share what I did since it worked so well. Used ground turkey instead of chicken and it was fine. Used canned mushrooms 2 cans at 4 oz each: (pieces & stems) and it was fine. Used 1/2 teaspoon roughly of dried thyme and it was fine. Didn’t have bouillon so I used a teaspoon of Trader Joe’s “multipurpose umami seasoning blend” (tan cap) and a teaspoon of Trader Joe’s “ vegan chicken seasoning, salt” (turquoise cap) and it was fine. Lastly, only simmered for about 9 minutes (once everything was cooked through) and it was fine. Served over the noodles that look like mini lasagna noodles and with corn on the cob. Over all another delicious ST recipe! Thanks Gina!

      Kathryn Oates

      We served it with some fresh corn cut off the cob and it really complemented the flavors in the sauce!

  98. Hi Gina, I’m a bit confused as to why the sauce simmers for such a long time. Isn’t the ground chicken going to dry out?

  99. Just made this I was skeptical about the blender method for the sauce. I halved the recipe and followed exactly. It was delicious and a great way to use up 10 oz. Of left over rotisserie chicken. Delicious, and the sauce thickened up in the pan.
