Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets or general grocery stores. While most ingredients are universal, 'batata palha' is a distinct Brazilian pantry item; if unavailable, thin potato sticks or even crushed potato chips can serve as a substitute for the texture, though the authentic potato sticks are recommended for the true experience.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken cubes with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a large pan, sauté the chicken over medium heat until it is well browned.
- Stir in the tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup, mixing thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes over low heat, being careful not to let the sauce boil.
- Serve the chicken stroganoff hot, accompanied by crispy batata palha.
