Some recipes don’t need reinventing—they just need simplifying.
This is a classic chicken stroganoff, pulled back to its essentials and made for a weeknight. One pot, a handful of real ingredients, and a sauce that builds itself as it goes.
You get tender chicken, soft onions, mushrooms that soak up everything around them, and a creamy, slightly tangy finish from the sour cream. The white wine lifts it, the mustard sharpens it, and It’s Thyme to Party quietly ties everything together with a herby depth that makes it feel like more than the sum of its parts.
The noodles cook right in the sauce, soaking up flavor instead of just sitting under it.
It’s simple. It’s comforting. And it’s the kind of meal that feels like it’s been around forever—for good reason.

Ingredients
-
1 bag egg noodles
-
3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
-
2 tablespoons It’s Thyme to Party
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 3-4 ounces mushrooms, diced
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic (optional)
-
2 tablespoons Flour
- 6 ounces Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup White Wine
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Whole Grain Mustard
- Salt and Pepper
Directions
- In a heavy bottom pot bring about 10 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add salt to season. Then add egg noodles. Cook until done. Drain and set aside.
- To that same pot. add a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Season your chicken, on both sides, ~1 tablespoon of It’s Thyme to Party. Place chicken in pot for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until done. Move the chicken as little possible. (The seasonings will likely stick to the bottom of the pan - we want that! It’s going to help develop a deep base of flavors for the sauce)
- Once chicken is done, remove from the pot, and set aside.
In same pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add onions and stir constantly until they are translucent. Once onions are cooked down, add mushrooms garlic, and the other ~1.5 tablespoons of It’s Thyme to Party. Cook down for about 5 minutes.
- Then, add flour to make roux. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the garlic, onion and mushroom mixture. Stir to ensure flour is covering all of the veggies. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Then, add 1/2 cup of wine to deglaze the pan. Let the alcohol cook off, and then incorporate into veggie mixture. Scrape up all those brown bits on the bottom of the pan into your mixture.
- Once fully incorporated, add 2 cups chicken stock sour cream and 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard. Stir and reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
- While the sauce is simmering, dice up chicken. I like to chop mine in long strips - it holds up more sauce!
- Once sauce has thickened a bit, add in noodles and chopped chicken to the pan. Stir and cover on a low simmer. Let thicken for about 15-20 minutes - stirring often.
- Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
Recipe Note
Considerations
Don’t rush the mushrooms: Let them cook long enough to release and reabsorb their moisture—this is where flavor builds.
Deglazing matters: That white wine step lifts everything stuck to the pan—that’s pure flavor.
Control the thickness: If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of stock. Too thin? Let it simmer uncovered a bit longer.
Sour cream goes in last: Keep the heat low when adding it to avoid curdling.
Noodles timing: Cook just until tender—overcooking will make them too soft in the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Straight from the pot (honestly the move)
With crusty bread to catch the sauce
Alongside a simple green salad to balance richness
With a glass of dry white wine
Finished with fresh herbs if you have them
Variations
Extra Creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream along with the sour cream.
Lighter Version: Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt (add off heat).
Beef Stroganoff Style: Sub chicken for thinly sliced steak.
More Veg-Forward: Add spinach or peas at the end for color and freshness.
