Keto Chicken Stroganoff
Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (for dredging)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (or 1/2 small onion for fewer carbs)
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (check for sugar-free or low-carb options)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth (preferably low-sodium and no added sugar)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (use full-fat for keto)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cauliflower rice or spiralized zucchini, for serving (instead of egg noodles)

Preparation:

  1. Prepare Chicken:
    • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Season liberally with salt and pepper, then toss in the almond flour.
  2. Cook Chicken:
    • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
    • If needed, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan before cooking the second batch.
  3. Cook Vegetables:
    • Add butter to the same pan, then add mushrooms and onions. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and it cooks off, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add Flavorings:
    • Stir in the dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add Broth:
    • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  6. Simmer:
    • Return the chicken to the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Finish Sauce:
    • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve:
    • Serve the stroganoff over cauliflower rice or spiralized zucchini instead of egg noodles. Enjoy!
