What is Chicken Stroganoff?

After reading up quite a few sources about stroganoff in general, this is what I came to know. Historically, this stroganoff was made with beef.

The original recipe for beef stroganoff dates back to Russia in the late 1800s, created by a chef who cooked this dish for his employer, Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov and hence the dish is named after him. [source]

The native dish contained meat of your choice, mushrooms and sour cream which is how it is made today as well.
