Storage Instructions
Store this noodle dish in the refrigerator. It needs to be in a sealed container, and will last 2-3 days. I don’t recommend freezing due to the addition of cream. It may not have the same consistency when thawed.
FAQs
Chicken Stroganoff is a twist on the classic and well-loved beef stroganoff. Stroganoff is made with a homemade, creamy mushroom sauce or cream of mushroom soup for ease. This recipe uses chicken breast instead of sauted beef.
Sauces “reduce” when they thicken slightly from their original consistency. This is important in some of these creamy dishes, since a creamier sauce is much more enjoyable to eat than a thin sauce. The addition of cornstarch will help the reduction to go faster.
If you don’t have any dry white wine, there are some other options you can use. Brandy is a typical and common drink used in stroganoff, but you can also use bourbon, rum, whisky, apple juice, or more chicken stock.
