This easy to make Chicken Stroganoff with Wine & Cognac is chicken bites smothered in a rich and creamy flavorful sauce. Serve it with Tagliatelle pasta and you have a winner of a dinner.
I’ve made this Chicken Stroganoff with Wine & Cognac recipe a few times and the sauce is always just incredible – my absolute favorite part! It’s addictively creamy, tangy, and seasoned perfectly with a hint of wine, mustard and oregano.
I am a huge fan of Beef Stroganoff, but Chicken Stroganoff makes for a nice change. It is less spicy than traditional stroganoff recipes, and the chicken just makes it a bit ‘softer’ – but still packed with taste.
If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to Tagliatelle, try mashed cauliflower!
It’s best served with a veggie side.

And BTW, in the recipe I’m using the hot chili paste to add some heat into the dish. Optional, but use carefully.
