Ingredients
- •Olive oil(30g)

- •Ground Chicken(454g)
Usually near ground turkey in the meat section. Check fat % on label.
- •Thyme, Dried(15g)
- •Paprika, Smoked(13g)
- •Garlic powder(8g)
- •1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Mushrooms, Cremini(454g)
- •Flour, All-Purpose, White(30g)
- •Low Sodium Chicken Broth(720g)

- •Greek Yogurt (2%)(120g)

Instructions
- 1Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 1–2 minutes). Add the ground chicken, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook 5–7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no pink remains and the chicken is fully browned.
- 2Add the cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook 5–6 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and release their liquid.
- 3Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and mushrooms, then stir constantly for 1 minute to coat evenly and cook out the raw flour taste.
- 4Pour in one-third of the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Add the remaining broth and the dry egg noodles, then cover the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (2–3 minutes), then remove the lid and stir well.
- 5Re-cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer 7–9 minutes, stirring and replacing the lid every 2 minutes, until the noodles are al dente and most liquid is absorbed. The mixture should maintain a gentle simmer; if it stops bubbling, increase heat slightly.
- 6Remove the skillet from heat and let cool 1 minute. Stir in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated, then taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
- 7Divide the stroganoff evenly into 10 airtight containers while hot. Garnish each portion with fresh parsley.
- 8Cool to room temperature before sealing lids, then refrigerate up to 4 days.
