Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cubed
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste, no salt added
• 1 cup Unsalted chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream (or unsalted plant-based cream for a lighter option)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the cubed chicken breast and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to enhance its flavor.

Step 6

Pour in the unsalted chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their juices.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Mix well and let the stroganoff simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Season the dish with freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust flavors as needed, but avoid adding extra salt to keep it low sodium.

Step 10

Serve the stroganoff hot over cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
