Low-Fat Chicken Stroganoff Recipe

Description:

Indulging in a flavorful and satisfying meal doesn’t have to mean straying from your low-fat diet. This delectable Low-Fat Chicken Stroganoff proves that you can enjoy a rich, creamy dish while keeping things healthy. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, this recipe is a great alternative to the classic stroganoff, providing all the deliciousness without the extra calories. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can swap out the chicken for meatballs or beef, but keep in mind that doing so will alter the nutritional values.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 20 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh chives, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Coat the Chicken:
    Begin by placing the flour and paprika in a small plastic bag. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoned flour mixture.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Lightly spray a large frying pan with non-stick cooking spray or melt the butter over medium heat. Add the coated chicken pieces to the pan and cook them gently, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a bowl and cover it to keep warm.

  3. Prepare the Sauce:
    In the same pan, pour in the chicken stock and bring it to a simmer. Add the minced garlic and sliced onions, and let them cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the onions to become tender.

  4. Add Mushrooms and Sherry:
    Stir in the sliced mushrooms and dry sherry, continuing to cook the mixture for a few minutes until the mushrooms start to soften. Then, return the cooked chicken to the pan along with any remaining stock. Season with a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Thicken the Sauce:
    Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the sauce to thicken and the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

  6. Finish with Sour Cream:
    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  7. Serve:
    Sprinkle the stroganoff with fresh chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor. Serve it hot over a bed of noodles or rice for a complete meal.
