30 Minute Healthy Chicken Stroganoff
This healthy chicken Stroganoff comes together in 30 minutes making it a perfect weeknight meal. Does it really get any better than this? To me, there isn’t anything too much better than creamy chicken and mushrooms over pasta. I mean, really. The only thing better might be creamy chicken and mushrooms over pasta that won’t make me gain ridiculous amounts of weight. Livin’ in a dream world, right? Maybe not! The creaminess in this recipe comes from a delicious sauce made with white wine, chicken broth, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard, instead of the traditional sour cream. Healthy comfort food is always a good thing to accomplish whether you have four kids, two kids, or zero kids. I go heavy on the mushrooms in this chicken Stroganoff because I just love mushrooms, but feel free to scale back.
If you don’t have 16 ounces of mushrooms, try supplementing with some cut red bell peppers. The red peppers would not only add great flavor and nutrition to this healthy stroganoff but the red color would also look beautiful. Or throw in a few handfuls of dark green spinach. A crispy kale salad with poppyseed dressing or this cabbage salad with honey lime dressing would be perfect sides along with the creamy chicken Stroganoff.
