Mary Berry Chicken Stroganoff is a savoury dish made with sautéed chicken, mushrooms, and onions simmered in a creamy sauce flavoured with stock, mustard, and paprika.

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken breast, sliced into thin strips – Cooks quickly and stays tender.

  • 1 large onion, sliced – Adds sweetness and depth.

  • 250g mushrooms, sliced – Provide earthy flavour and texture.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter – For sautéing.

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed – Adds aromatic depth.

  • 1 teaspoon paprika – Gives warmth and colour.

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard – Adds flavour complexity.

  • 150ml chicken stock – Creates the base of the sauce.

  • 200ml sour cream or crème fraîche – Gives the signature creamy finish.

  • Salt and pepper to taste – Essential for seasoning.

  • Fresh parsley (optional) – For garnish.

Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare the ingredients

Slice chicken, onions, and mushrooms into even pieces so everything cooks uniformly.

Step 2 — Brown the chicken

Heat oil in a pan and cook the chicken strips until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 3 — Cook onions and mushrooms

In the same pan, add the onions and mushrooms. Cook until softened and lightly browned.

Step 4 — Add garlic and spices

Stir in crushed garlic, paprika, and Dijon mustard. Cook briefly until aromatic.

Step 5 — Pour in the stock

Add chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. This forms the base of the sauce.

Step 6 — Return the chicken

Add the browned chicken back to the pan, mixing everything well.

Step 7 — Add the sour cream

Reduce the heat and gently stir in the sour cream or crème fraîche. Heat through without boiling to keep the sauce smooth.

Step 8 — Season and serve

Taste and adjust seasoning, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
