Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 400 g (14.1 oz) chestnut mushrooms halved
  • 2 red onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 500 g (1.1 lb) chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 300 ml (1 ⅓ cups) chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 250 ml (1 cup) sour cream (use reduced-fat sour cream, if preferred)
  • a small handful of chopped parsley or tarragon
  • pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and butter in a wide, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms, red onions, and garlic and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Transfer to a bowl or plate (with all the pan juices) and set aside.
  • Return the pan to the heat and stir-fry the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour in the stock, tomato purée, mustard, and smoked paprika, and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Return the mushroom mixture to the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add the sour cream and chopped parsley or tarragon, bring to a simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
  • Check the seasoning and add salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Serve in warmed bowls with your choice of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, and some green veg on the side, if you like.

Notes

    • Freezable - this chicken stroganoff freezes well.  Cool completely and portion into airtight containers. Defrost either overnight or first thing in the morning and in a pan on the hob.  
    • Dairy-free option - replace sour cream with a plant-based alternative like coconut cream or cashew cream.
  • Extra vegetables - add spinach, peas or green beans for extra nutrients and colour.
