Quick, Easy Chicken Stroganoff (with Apologies to Russia)
While I’m sure it’s about as authentically Russian as I am, this twist on the Soviet staple is quick, easy and most importantly, a crowd pleaser. Easy chicken stroganoff
As was probably the case in many Irish households in the 80s, the leftovers of the obligatory Sunday roast beef would be reproduced on Monday evening as a curry, a stroganoff or something similar. Nobody did frugal better than our parents’ generation. At the time I was never too taken with the Monday offerings but now, as a mum, I can totally appreciate the feeling of beating the system when you get two days worth of dinners for the price of one. This recipe works equally well with leftover roast chicken and beef.
Rice can be hit-and-miss with my gang, so I sometimes serve theirs up with pasta (an extra pot is a small price to pay for peace at the dinner table), removing the offending mushrooms where necessary. I plate up some steamed greens too when I need to feel like a better parent.
This tangy, creamy dish is brood approved! The toddler licked the bowl. Give it a go and let me know what you think!
Total Recipe Time: 30-40 minutes

Ooooh I’ve had a mushroom stroganoff before, but it was literally years ago. This looks delicious though
It’s really tasty and so simple. No mental ingredients. Winner! 🙂
Mmmm sounds and looks yummy xx
Great idea – we haven’t had stroganoff for a while. This recipe sounds nice and easy. I love it that your children would find the mushrooms offensive too, and that you serve with ‘whatever your children won’t throw back at you’!!
Yeah, mealtime standards have significantly dropped here, Cal! ;o
This looks yummy! I’m always at a bit of a loss at the moment for new things to try, we always end up having the same few meals. Think I might be giving this one a go over the weekend!
Let me know how you get on with it! 🙂
This sounds delicious and something that my husband would love. My kids never eat meat but the sauce in pasta could be a winner
Mine won’t eat the mushrooms but I pick them out and they love the sauce with pasta!
I’ve never tried stroganoff (mainly because I hate mushrooms and I’ve only ever seen them with tonnes of mushrooms!). This does look good though so I night have to try with out the mushrooms!
I think the sauce tastes of mushrooms quite a bit so it may not be for a shroomaphobe, Alex! 😉
I like the sound of this (minus the mushrooms) we usually just do curry with leftovers but this would make a nice change.
Amy, we are the same. We get so sick of curries!
This looks really yummy Sinead! And easy too which is always a plus when the kids are back to school. I had a laugh at your apologies to Russia disclosure lol x
I’m sure we’ve butchered a classic. Again. But yes, fast and tasty wins for me every time! 😉
This looks delicious. I’m determined to get back into meal planning next week with the girls back at school, I’m adding this to my list x
I need to get a bit better at meal planning myself!
ooooo i do like beef stoganoff although i’ve never had it with chicken. I can imagine it tasting just as nice though 🙂 Mushrooms are a no no in my house too, i’ve given up trying to hide them as it’s just not worth the hassle of ‘mum i’ve found one’ as they are picking away at their dinner trying to find them lol!
Same as that for the most part here, Rachel. I don’t blame them. I’m pretty sure I was a teenager before I entertained mushrooms! Lol.
That looks delicious. I must try this out as it looks easy to do too.
I only do easy, Jacinta! Hah.
Can you believe I’ve eaten stogenoff! This looks delicious, simple and frigal though.
You’ve never eaten it? Oh you’re missing out, Claire! 😉
Oh stroganoff is one of my absolute favourite dishes and one of the only thing that all six of us will eat and enjoy!! I’m always up for trying different recipes, it can get quite repetitive doing it the same way each time. Will try this!
Oh DO let me know how this one compares to some of your other recipes!
This look delicious! Pinned for later!! x
Thanks Rosie. Let me know how you go if you try it! 🙂
Oh this looks lush! I am also loving the new feel of your website! 🙂
Thanks so much, Emma. I’m not gonna lie. I’m loving it myself too! 😉
I bet that’s really tasty! It looks so simple to make too.
