Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Sweet paprika
- Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- Onion
- Garlic (2 cloves)
- Low-sodium chicken broth (1 cup)
- Sour cream (150g)
- Olive oil or butter (2 tablespoons)
- Pasta or rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips. This helps them cook evenly and absorb all the flavors.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add one chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until they are fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of sweet paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in 200g of sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until softened and browned.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Finish with Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in 150g of sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine everything well.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more paprika, salt, or pepper if needed. For a bit of acidity, you can also add a splash of lemon juice.
- Serve: Ladle the kip stroganoff over cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
