Description
There are variations on the original recipe– and this Brazilian version of Stroganoff is one of them.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2.2 pounds (1 kg) boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2–1/2 cups chicken broth or stock
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound (about 450 g) fresh common white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (sour cream, plain or Greek yogurt, or coconut milk can be substituted for the heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry, cut into 2-inch cubes, and season with salt and pepper. In a large stainless steel pan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the cubed chicken in batches so that it is browned on all sides, then let rest on a plate or bowl after pan-frying.
- Lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil and the onions, cooking and stirring occasionally until they are soft (approximately 3 minutes). Add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Return chicken to the pan!!! Pour in the wine and let cook until it has been almost completely absorbed. Stir in both the tomato sauce and the chicken stock/broth. Cook, partially covered, over medium-low heat for 40 – 45 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until the they are browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and reserve.
- When the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat and fold in the mushrooms, heavy cream, mustard, and parsley. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Serve the Chicken Stroganoff with white rice and shoestring potatoes. Or, as a variation, serve with your favorite pasta. And don’t forget those shoestring potatoes!
