Notes

  1.  Feel free to switch it with leaner boneless and skinless chicken breast. Ground chicken or ground turkey also works fine.  Just make sure to adjust cooking times depending on your meat.
  2. Sour cream can be substituted with at least 2% Greek Yogurt  although don’t expect your dish to taste the exact same as when using sour cream. 
  3.  Stroganoff is a fantastic make-ahead dinner and it reheats beautifully. Simply let it cool and store (covered with a lid) in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stove top while stirring it until heated through. If the sauce comes out too thick from the fridge, add a splash of chicken broth or water to thin out.
