Method

  1. Cook the rice

    In a pot with a lid, bring the water for the rice to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the rice, cover, lower the heat to the minimum and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

  2. Prepare the ingredients

    Cut the chicken into thin strips about 1 cm thick and season with half the salt and half the black pepper. Dice the onion small, slice the garlic thinly, cut the mushrooms into rounds and chop the parsley.

  3. Brown the chicken

    Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken strips in a single layer, without crowding the pan, for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until well browned and reaching 74 °C inside. Remove and set aside.

  4. Sauté onion and garlic

    In the same pan, over medium heat, add the remaining oil and cook the onion for 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

  5. Brown the mushrooms

    Add the mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until golden and the water they release has evaporated.

  6. Make the sauce

    Add the tomato paste and the mustard and stir for 1 minute. Add the water for the sauce and the reserved chicken and cook for 3 minutes over medium-low heat.

  7. Finish with cream

    Lower the heat to the minimum, add the cream and stir. Warm for 2 to 3 minutes without letting it boil, so the cream does not split. Adjust the salt and black pepper.

  8. Serve

    Serve the strogonoff with the white rice on the side and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.

Good to know

  • Brown the chicken in a single layer over medium-high heat: in a crowded pan it cooks in its own juices and loses its colour.
  • Once the cream goes in, keep the heat low and do not let it boil, so the sauce does not split.
  • If the sauce gets too thick, stir in a little hot water gradually before serving.
