Family Friendly Chicken Stroganoff

Chicken Stroganoff in a creamy sauce with herbs in a skillet.

I’m a huge fan of Beef Stroganoff, but Chicken Stroganoff makes for a nice change and the kids much prefer it.  It is less spicy than traditional stroganoff recipes, and the chicken just makes it a bit ‘softer’ – but still packed with taste.

You can use any type of chicken for this recipe, I do prefer the chicken thighs as they have a bit more flavour than chicken breasts – but use what you have on hand!

Of course I always serve it over pasta – but you can have it on its own with freshly steamed vegetables or on rice, whatever takes your fancy!

Enjoy your Chicken Stroganoff!
