Where to find ingredients
Find fresh chicken breasts and dairy products at local supermarkets or butchers in Gaborone and surrounding areas. The essential 'batata palha' (shoestring potatoes) can often be found in the imported goods section of major retailers or specialized delis; if unavailable, thinly sliced and fried potato strips serve as an excellent substitute.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken cubes generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a large pan or skillet, sauté the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown on all sides.
- Stir in the tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to integrate it into the pan drippings for a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes on very low heat, being careful not to let the sauce come to a boil.
- Serve the hot chicken stroganoff immediately, topped with crispy shoestring potatoes.
