Baked Chicken Stroganoff

Let’s be real—when dinner time rolls around after a jam-packed day of meetings, carpooling, or just trying to stay sane, we all crave something warm, creamy, and soul-soothing. Enter: Baked Chicken Stroganoff. This isn’t just another chicken casserole—it’s a rich, creamy hug in a dish that tastes like it simmered all day, but (spoiler alert!) didn’t.

This recipe checks all the boxes: minimal prep, hearty ingredients, and a dreamy mushroom sauce that makes it feel like you cooked up something fancy—even if you were wearing yoga pants the whole time.

Why You’ll Love This Baked Chicken Stroganoff

There’s something magical about a meal that looks impressive, tastes like a hug from Grandma, and only uses one pan and a baking dish. Baked Chicken Stroganoff brings all the comfort of traditional stroganoff, but skips the beef and stovetop babysitting. It’s chicken-forward (obviously, it’s kind of our thing here), incredibly creamy, and delightfully mushroomy.

Plus, baking it allows all those flavors to marry beautifully while you pour yourself a glass of wine or help with homework.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need for this baked masterpiece:

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Pro Tip: Don’t skimp on the mushrooms—they’re what give the sauce its earthy depth and that restaurant-style flavor.

Step-by-Step: Making Your Baked Chicken Stroganoff

1. Preheat to Cozy:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). You’ll want that oven ready to go when your skillet magic is done.

2. Brown the Chicken:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken chunks and cook until they’re golden on the outside (no need to cook them through just yet). Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté the Good Stuff:
In that same flavorful skillet, toss in the diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender—about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute. If your kitchen doesn’t smell amazing by now, just wait.

4. Create Creamy Perfection:
Sprinkle flour over the veggie mix and stir well. Let it cook for 2 minutes (no raw flour taste here, thank you!). Slowly add in the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Then stir in the mushroom soup, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until you’ve got a rich, velvety sauce.

5. Combine and Bake:
Return your golden chicken chunks to the skillet and coat them in that luscious sauce. Pour everything into a baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.

6. Rest, Garnish, and Serve:
Let it sit a few minutes—trust me, it thickens up beautifully. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve over egg noodles, fluffy mashed potatoes, or white rice. (Or straight out of the pan. No judgment here.)

Cooking Tips for Maximum Stroganoff Success

  • Worcestershire Sauce Tip: Don’t skip it—it adds depth and a touch of umami that brings everything together.
  • Want It Extra Creamy? Add a little more sour cream or even a splash of heavy cream.
  • Low on Time? Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and bake for just 15-20 minutes until heated through.

FAQs About Baked Chicken Stroganoff

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

Absolutely. Just use full-fat Greek yogurt for that same creamy texture.

What can I serve this with?

Egg noodles are classic, but it’s amazing over mashed potatoes or even with roasted veggies if you’re going low-carb.

How do I store leftovers?

Pop them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. It reheats beautifully in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Can I freeze it?

Yes! Let it cool completely, then freeze in portions. Thaw overnight and reheat gently.
