• ½ package Lipton onion soup mix
• 4 oz sliced mushrooms, drained (fresh or canned)

For Serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, onion soup mix, and sliced mushrooms until well combined.

   🥄 For extra flavor, sauté fresh mushrooms in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the mixture. It enhances the umami richness of the dish!

3. Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.

5. Serve the chicken stroganoff hot over a bed of cooked white or wild rice.

   🍚 For added texture, try using a blend of brown rice and wild rice—it pairs beautifully with the creamy sauce!

Tips & Variations

• Quick & Easy: Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time. Shred it and mix it straight into the filling!
• Vegetarian Option: Substitute chicken with sautéed tofu or your choice of veggies (like zucchini or bell peppers) for a hearty meatless version.
• Extra Creamy: For a richer dish, increase the amount of sour cream to 1 cup or add a splash of heavy cream.
• Spice It Up: Add a teaspoon of garlic powder or cayenne pepper for an extra kick of flavor. Perfect for those who love a bit of heat! 🔥
