Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken, salt, pepper, mustard, and ketchup at any local supermarket or neighborhood shop. For the tomato paste, look in the canned goods aisle. Heavy cream is available in the dairy section; if you cannot find it, a good quality whipping cream or cooking cream works perfectly. The essential 'batata palha' (crunchy potato sticks) can often be found in the international or imported foods section of larger supermarkets in Nairobi, or at specialty shops that stock Latin or global pantry staples.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken cubes generously with salt and black pepper
- Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the chicken until it is nicely browned
- Stir in the tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup, mixing well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated
- 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 until you have a smooth, creamy sauce
- Let it simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes on low heat, being careful not to let it reach a rolling boil
- Serve your hot stroganoff immediately, topped with plenty of crunchy potato sticks
