- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped

Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss with 1/4 cup flour to coat.
- Brown the Chicken: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high. Cook the chicken in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
- Sauté Onions and Mushrooms: In the same pan, melt butter, add onions and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden, about 6-8 minutes.
Make the Sauce
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Cook for 1 minute.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan’s bottom.
Combine and Serve
- Return Chicken to Pan: Add the chicken back to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add Sour Cream: Reduce heat to low, stir in the sour cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the stroganoff warm over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
