How do I make this Chicken Stroganoff? 

This Chicken Stroganoff can be made on the stove or in an Instant Pot. I have given directions for both options.  The directions and pictures below are for the Instant Pot. 

Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add butter to the instant pot and stir until the butter has melted.

Add onion/mushrooms and chicken pieces.

Sauté chicken and onions/mushrooms for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.

Add beef or chicken broth, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp beef bouillon powder or beef cube, and flour.  Stir well. 

Stir well. 

Add the egg noodles to the Instant Pot.

Make sure the liquid is at the bottom. This will ensure you don’t receive a “burn” error. 

Close the lid. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.

Once it’s done cooking, allow for natural release cycle to complete, it may take up to 8 minutes.

Stir in the Greek yogurt 

stir in the cream cheese and sauté for a few minutes while stirring to allow sauce to thicken.

Ingredients: 

  • 12 oz. uncooked extra wide, broad egg noodles or whole wheat egg noodles if you have whole grain pasta as a zero point food
  • 6 (4 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, raw, cut, and diced into 2 inch pieces 
  • 1 small onion, diced

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add butter to the instant pot and cook and until the butter has melted. Add the onion and chicken pieces. Sauté chicken, onions, and mushrooms for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
  2. Add 4 cups beef or chicken broth, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp beef bouillon powder or beef cube, and flour.  Stir well. Make sure the liquid is at the bottom and scrape any food bits from the bottom of the pot. This will ensure you don’t receive a “burn” error.
  3. Add the egg noodles to the Instant Pot.
  4. Close the lid.
  5. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
  6. Once it’s done cooking, allow for natural release cycle to complete, it may take up to 8 minutes.
  7. Unlock and remove the lid from the instant pot.

Stove Top Directions:

  1. In a large cooking pot, cook egg noodles using the directions on back of the package. Set aside.
  2. Spray a large skillet pan with non stick cooking spray. Add diced chicken and cook on medium high until chicken pieces are no longer pink add onions and continue cooking until onions/mushrooms are translucent. Place chicken and onions on a plate and set aside. 
  3. In the same skillet melt light butter, and add flour with garlic and cook, while stirring.
  4. Turn heat settings to low and stir in 3 cups of beef or chicken broth, Worcestershire, mustard and seasonings. Let the sauce cook until it comes to a boil then reduce to a simmer until sauce thickens.
  5. Whisk in cream cheese and Greek yogurt until melted and stir until combined. Add chicken, onions, mushrooms back to pan. Stir until well combined.

My very favorite recipe! It is so good I could eat it every day. Being on WW Purple I left out the flour and did not find any problem with that. Next time I want to add a little more broth and a package of spinach. Thanks for the GREAT recipe!

When do you add the mushrooms? This step seems to be missing although it’s included as an ingredient.
