Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken, aromatics, and condiments at local wet markets or supermarket chains like FairPrice or Cold Storage. For authentic results, look for 'creme de leite' (a common Brazilian heavy cream) at specialty imported food stores. As a substitute for batata palha, thinly shredded potato sticks can be found in the snack aisle of most major supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Season the cubed chicken with salt and black pepper to your preference.
- In a pan over medium heat, sauté the chicken until well browned.
- Stir in the tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing gently to create a creamy sauce.
- Simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes on low heat; ensure the mixture does not reach a boil.
- Serve the stroganoff piping hot, topped with crunchy batata palha.
