Where to find ingredients
Find fresh chicken breasts and high-quality double cream in the poultry and dairy aisles of any local supermarket. 'Batata palha' is a Brazilian specialty product found in the world foods or international aisle of larger supermarkets or via online Latin American grocers; as a substitute, you may use crushed salted crisps, though the texture will differ.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken cubes thoroughly with salt and black pepper.
- Place a pan over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on all sides.
- Stir in the tomato purée, mustard, and ketchup, ensuring the chicken is well-coated in the aromatics.
- Simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Turn the heat to the lowest setting and pour in the double cream, stirring gently to incorporate it into a smooth sauce.
- Continue to cook on a low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, being careful not to let the sauce boil.
- Serve the stroganoff hot, garnished with a generous handful of crunchy shoestring potato crisps.
