Bust out your Instant Pot and make this Easy Chicken Stroganoff Recipe! Chicken breasts, egg noodles and the best, most creamy sauce are combined for the ultimate comfort food!
After making the best beef stroganoff ever in an Instant Pot, I knew I couldn’t stop there! The very next week I made this Instant Pot Chicken Stroganoff and I was hooked!
We’ve now been eating Instant Pot beef or chicken stroganoff every week since. It’s so good, easy to make and the entire meal is made in the Instant Pot, making clean-up a breeze!
Stroganoff, whether beef or chicken, really is the ultimate comfort food. A creamy sauce, that I could eat with a spoon like it was soup, combined with noodles, meat and mushrooms. It’s a winning combination every time!
How to make Chicken Stroganoff
Add 2 tablespoons butter to an Instant Pot, or electric pressure cooker. Add mushrooms, onions and garlic. Saute in the butter. Add diced chicken breasts, salt, pepper and paprika.
Sear the chicken on all sides for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken broth to the pressure cooker.
Switch the Instant Pot from the saute function, to the pressure cooker function and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Remove the lid and add egg noodles. Try to cover the egg noodles in the liquid as much as possible. If they’re not completely covered, that’s okay! Return the lid and pressure cook for another 8 minutes.
Allow the Instant Pot to pressure down for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in sour cream, half and half and parmesan cheese.
Is Chicken Stroganoff gluten free?
This chicken stroganoff recipe is easily made gluten free by substituting gluten-free egg noodles for traditional egg noodles.
What goes with Chicken Stroganoff?
This dish can be served on it’s own or with a salad or veggies on the side. I always serve the dish with a toasted baguette for dipping up any extra sauce. The sauce is so good, you can’t leave any behind!
Try this Garlic Lemon Grilled Asparagus or this Quinoa Caprese Salad on the side.
What wine goes with Chicken Stroganoff?
A full bodied white, such as a chardonnay or chenin blanc will pair well with the chicken.
If pairing with a red wine, go with something light, like a pinot noir. A big red, such as a cabernet or zinfandel will overwhelm the chicken.

It was delicious. The only issue I had was the noodles not all cooking, some were still not cooked so I gave it a stir, added another eight minutes and it was fabulous!
Winner Winner Chicken Stroganoff Dinner! So Good! I will say the recommendation to get as much of the egg noodles below the liquid is important. I had some uncooked noodles and stirred noodles under better a second time and cooked for 5 more minutes and still turned out awesome!
Hi Will, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This was really really good. For me there was not enough liquid to cook the noodles, easy fix adding water at the end and letting it sit with the lid on the cook the noodles more. Will definitely make again!
Awesome Kate, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
