Ingredients:
1 pound of chicken breast, sliced into strips
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 whole onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
1 cup of chicken broth (low-sodium for a healthier option)
1 cup of low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, according to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for decoration
Egg noodles or brown rice (high-fiber option), prepared, for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then sauté them for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. This lean protein is beneficial for maintaining a healthy weight. Remove from skillet and keep aside.
2. Utilize the same skillet to heat the remaining olive oil. Add onions and garlic, cooking until they are translucent and soft, about 2-3 minutes. Onions and garlic are great for heart health and can lower healthcare costs.
3. Incorporate the mushrooms and fry until they are well browned, approximately 5-6 minutes. Mushrooms add nutrients that support your immune system, potentially reducing medical expenses.
4. Mix in the chicken broth, low-fat sour cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Allow the mixture to reach a gentle simmer, and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using low-sodium broth helps manage blood pressure and supports overall health.
5. Reintroduce the chicken to the skillet, stirring well to coat it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring everything is warm. A balanced meal can promote well-being and potentially lower the need for health insurance claims.
6. Serve the stroganoff over prepared egg noodles or brown rice, garnished with fresh parsley for added vitamins and minerals. Enjoy a comforting dish that nourishes both body and mind, reducing stress and contributing to long-term health.
