Soar to:

I am certain i’ve consumed way more hen stroganoff than the typical particular person!

It was at all times certainly one of my favorite meals as a youngster, and I ALWAYS used to ask my mum to prepare dinner it once I was residence from Uni, or when she’d come to our home to take care of the youngsters.

It is nonetheless certainly one of my favorite creamy consolation meals dinners to today (together with the beef stroganoff model), and I like that it solely takes 20 minutes to make!

📋 Components

• Hen – I am utilizing skinless hen breast, chopped into chew dimension items, however you may change with chopped skinless hen thighs if you happen to desire
• We’re utilizing double (heavy) cream. Go for full fats, as decrease fats cream will cut up if cooked over a excessive warmth.
• Bitter cream – once more full fats. Full fats bitter cream nonetheless has a decrease fats content material than double cream, and can cut up if boiled. So we’re going to be including the double cream first – which can assist to guard the bitter cream, then add the bitter cream and warmth slowly.
• Mushrooms – use your favorite. I like chestnut button mushrooms, as they’ve a number of flavour.
• Oil and butter – for frying the hen, onion and mushrooms
• Onion – add a little bit sweetness to the dish.
• Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard – for further flavour
• Seasoning – salt, pepper and paprika (I add a little bit paprika to the hen for flavour and color, then sprinkle some on to the completed dish for garnish too).

👩‍🍳PRO TIP Enable the sauce to simmer over a low warmth, so it is solely simply effervescent. This may be certain that the hen stays tender and that beautiful creamy sauce will not cut up.

I like to serve mine topped with a sprinkling of paprika and a few freshly chopped curly parsley.

✎ Notes

Can I make it forward and/or freeze it?

I at all times wish to attempt to embrace make forward and/or freezing directions the place attainable, however this one simply does not style nearly as good if made forward. So my recommendation is to make it proper earlier than serving.
Now, if you happen to wished to prep forward, you might slice the onions, mushrooms and hen (cowl and refrigerate) forward of time.

A word on the fats content material of cream:

I wouldn’t advocate utilizing low fats cream. Any cream beneath 25% fats will curdle when heated. Whipping cream is an okay alternative for double cream (approx. 35% fats, in comparison with double/heavy which is approx. 48% fats), however don’t use single cream.
Full fats bitter cream shouldn’t get replaced with decrease fats bitter cream. Full fats bitter cream is about 20% fats – which is beneath that 25% fats threshold. The upper fats within the double/heavy cream that we add in first helps to shield the bitter cream, as long as it’s heated slowly and never boiled.
That is an indulgent dish, so will probably be excessive in fats – however can also be scrumptious and filling.
