The Best Chicken Stroganoff Recipe
The original ‘beef stroganov’ was prepared with cubed beef dusted in flour then sautéed with mustard and bouillon. Later renditions of this famous recipe incorporated mushrooms, onions, sour cream, and at times, tomato sauce. Delicious yes, heart healthy, no. Not a big beef eater myself, I was thrilled when my sister Jill sent me this recipe for a much lighter version, using chicken instead of beef, and light sour cream instead of the full fat kind. I don’t recommend using nonfat sour cream; what you sacrifice in flavor is not worth the savings in fat and calories. You can serve this dish over rice or pasta. I prefer large wide egg noodles cooked al dente .
This will not be the last time you will see recipes from either of my sisters, as they are both incredibly good cooks, as is my daughter. Being with all of them in the kitchen is one of my greatest sources of joy. I hope you enjoy cooking this with your family.
