Creamy Chicken Stroganoff with Mushrooms

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary.
Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and browned.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to coat.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.
Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 4: Combine the Chicken and Sauce
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is heated through and coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
