One-pot chicken stroganoff with orzo. Ultra creamy, easy to make and supremely satisfying. There is a chance that this chicken stroganoff will make you want to do a happy dance. It’s a delicious and comforting meal that’s definitely weeknight- and budget-friendly. It also happens to be fast to make and sure to please everyone at the table. A delicious twist on the classic.
Having a rotating list of a few go-to dishes is crucial for stress-free dinners. Chicken stroganoff, with its tender pieces of chicken and mushrooms swimming in a savory sauce, is one of those comforting weeknight dishes. This version hits all the same notes as traditional stroganoff, but is made in one pot for a complete dinner you can make in 30 minutes.
This dish gets that iconic hit of paprika, and a surprising touch of wholegrain mustard and white miso paste. We’re using two varieties of mushrooms to create a more intense earthy flavor and sauté the mushrooms until crispy. Then add orzo and cook it directly in the broth.
As finishing touch, we add sour cream to make that creamy sauce we all know and love in stroganoff. This recipe isn’t traditional, but it brings the same comforting flavors all together in one pot.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
RECIPE NOTES
- instead of boneless/skinless chicken thighs, you could use chicken breasts or even chicken meatballs
- you can skip white wine and deglaze the pan with chicken broth
- switch out orzo for egg noodles
- what can I use instead of sour cream? Use dairy products that add richness and tang, like crème fraîche, Greek yogurt or cream cheese

Just curious, where do you source your sinless chicken thighs from?
Hi, I buy them in a local supermarket. Happy cooking!
😂 I got it!
Hi Anna,
I’ve seen your recipe on Pinterest and loved the idea! Since we’re cooking vegan at home, I chose soy chunks instead of chicken and added gherkins, which we usually choose for a Stroganoff. It’s still cooking, but it smells great! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Greetings from Germany,
Carolin
Sounds delicious! I’m really happy you enjoyed the recipe, thank you for giving it a try!
If I want to use egg noodles for this recipe instead of orzo, how should I cook it? As I think to cook it in the same way as your recipe says for orzo it will be overcooked
Thank you
Hi, you can cook the noodles separately and add them to the sauce before combining with sour cream. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Happy cooking!
Hey Anna,
I’d like to make this for dinner, but could I sub the orzo for Quinoa? If so, how would the method differ?
Thanks!
Hi Ameer, you can follow the steps by adding the same amount of quinoa, then start by pouring in 3 cups chicken broth and adding more if needed. Cook quinoa three minutes less according to the packet instructions, and follow step 6.
Please let me know if you have any more questions. Enjoy the recipe!
Do you have any recommendations for a white miso paste substitute? I’m all out of it.
Hi Tiffany, you can just leave it out. Enjoy the recipe!
