Notes
- This recipe uses mini chicken breasts which cook very quickly. If you are using whole chicken breasts you will have to butterfly them. Place the chicken on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to slice into the side of the breast, not cutting all the way through. Open the breast up to flatten (this is the ‘butterfly’ part) and then cover with clingfilm and gently flatten using a rolling pin.
- You can cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces before adding back into the sauce if you like.
- To make a Vegerarian Stroganoff replace the chicken with an extra 600g (1.2 lb) of mixed mushrooms, maybe some wild ones for more taste, and replace the beef with vegetable stock.
- This simple chicken recipe is wonderful over pasta, especially tagliatelle. But I also love it over rice or mash which absorbs the yummy sauce. Make sure to add some extra speed foods to fill up your plate, such as broccoli, wilted spinach or any steamed veggies.
