Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Directions:
Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chicken strips, seasoning them with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sauté until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and let it soften for about 2-3 minutes. Next, stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release their juices and turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 5-7 minutes.

Now, it’s time to bring in some flavor! Pour in the chicken broth and add the Dijon mustard, making sure to scrape up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.

Lower the heat, and carefully stir in the heavy cream, blending everything together. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens up nicely. Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring it all into that velvety creamy sauce. Add in the dried thyme and taste to adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve this dreamy chicken stroganoff over a bed of fluffy cooked egg noodles or rice, and don’t forget to sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a pop of color. Dig in and enjoy every bite!
