What a satisfying dinner. Chicken stroganoff is an everyday classic at Brazilian tables: a creamy sauce of Russian origin that picked up tomato, mustard and cream in Brazilian kitchens. Made in a single frying pan, it calls for fluffy white rice and suits a family or friends dinner, in about 50 minutes.

Method

  1. Cook the rice

    In a pot with a lid, bring the rice water to a 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 sauté 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 they have released their water.

  6. Make the sauce

    Add the tomato paste and 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. Heat 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 stroganoff 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: if the pan gets crowded, the chicken 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 becomes too thick, add a little hot water gradually before serving.
