Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken breasts, tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup at most local supermarkets like Shoprite or Quality Center. Heavy cream is available in the dairy aisle; if unavailable, a thick table cream or local fresh dairy cream can be used as a substitute. Shoestring potatoes are commonly sold in the snack aisle of grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Season the cubed chicken thoroughly with salt and black pepper.
- Place the chicken in a pan over medium heat and sauté until it is well-browned on all sides.
- Add the tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup to the pan, stirring well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are tender and cooked through.
- 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 on very low heat, taking care not to let the sauce boil.
- Serve the chicken stroganoff hot, garnished generously with crispy shoestring potato sticks.
