Chicken Stroganoff  Recipe (2024)

As a Brazilian, I must say that this recipe is probably one of the most beloved dishes around here. It's usually a Sunday or family-gathering kind of dish. In Brazil potato sticks (Called "straw-potatoes" in Portuguese) are very popular and we have multiple types such as extra thin, medium, seasoned, spicy.... And one last thing, in Brazil, white rice is cooked with salt, onions, and garlic, not like Asian rice. Enjoy :)

They are usually in the chip aisle at grocery stores. In cans, near the pringles!

Wow… tried this on a whim one Sunday night. This was unique and delicious!!!! Two glasses of wine in and I’m having a moment. The potato sticks on top are a must.

Very tasty. Hubby licked his plate! Used sour cream as I did not have heavy cream and liked the slight tartness. The potato sticks added texture but I didn’t think they were needed for flavour. A good way to stretch a large chicken breast. Cut the recipe in half for just the two of us. Used two Tbsp of tomato paste in half cup of water instead of sauce and left out the ketchup.

Or Greek yougurt instead of the heavy cream...

I still remember my mom cutting potatoes in julienne fashion and frying them in oil to serve along with the Stroganoff. Yum! At our home, the potatoes went on the side and perfectly portioned among all the kids, while dad would steal them from our plates just to create mayhem.

I found the recipe good, but a little bland, and was wondering whether a healthy dollop of sweet or smoked paprika would make a difference (sort of like a paprikash).

Any suggestions for a substitution for the mushrooms? Mot a fan of them in our house. but this sounds yummy!

Growing up in Brazil, this was such a popular dish on Sundays. For those who do not like mushrooms, a substitute is hearts of palm. No need to sauté first, just add them by the end and let it cook for a while with the chicken.

Pik-Nik is a very common brand of potato sticks but French's makes a version as well. Walmart sells the French's version, at least in Colorado.

Try a grocery store. Or Google "potato sticks near me."

Having spent 4-5 years in Brazil, this seemed to me to be one of those recipes where every family has their little twists. I tend to use half an onion, only a little garlic and paste instead of puree. I have even added olives. Goto a global market or Brazilian store and look for extra thin potato sticks!

Would the similarly packaged crispy onions or crispy jalapenos be a good substitute for the potato sticks? Is it the crispy or the starchy that’s wanted?

I knew that as soon as I saw this recipe that I had to try, and I'm so glad I did. I thought that it was delicious! I made it as written, but did have to use 4 4oz. cans of button mushrooms packed in water, drained and then patted dry before cooking. Easy to prepare and real easy to eat. I even found the potato sticks and thought that they were indeed essential. Thanks so much, Mr. El-Waylly!

For the cream, I used a large spoon of yogurt and then soy milk and milk. I used hamburger instead of chicken. This is definitely a repeater.

More chicken, extra garlic, less mushrooms, over garlicky rice

This is a nice, som sort of semi-sweet, chicken stew. But definitely NOT a Stroganoff. A true Stroganoff has somewhat tangy/sour taste to it. Which this recipe definitely has not.

Overall very nice but felt there was more cream than needed. I'd cut it in half next time....seems like it diluted the flavor and we ended up with more of a pink sauce than a red one. Glad we took the time to cook everything as long as suggested -- like the mushrooms. That helped with developing the flavor. Love the suggestion to add smoked paprika.

So much better when I don’t have Covid. Did 4 ketchup packets, mustard and worcestershire to sight.

This was so good. The only thing I did differently was that I was unsure about simmering the chicken so I lightly sautéed it in a different pan. I'm sure it would have been fine otherwise, but it did work the way I did it. :)

Serving it with rice works. I just prefer rotelli noodles, buttered with a little salt and pepper. Also, when we were introduced to Brazillian Stroganoff, we were told that her family liked colorful vegetables added like red and green bell peppers and carrots.It is always a popular hit for a bigger group.

Excellent as written! Couldn’t find potato sticks, so i used lightly crushed potato chips, specifically the “double crunch” variety, which are thicker and crispier than regular chips, and they worked very well.

I added extra Dijon and smoked paprika and it was fabulous

I just made this using 1 lb of remnants of a two-day old grocery store chicken, mostly breast meat, which reduced the cooking time considerably. I also did half sour cream/half heavy cream. The outcome was somewhat pulled pork-like, and as it turned out. I made some leftover thaw and rose rolls to go with, and voila! Delicious on rice or roll, including the potato sticks! I would consider spicing it up a bit — I probably should have used some of the leftover horseradish sauce from Christmas Eve.

Agree with others to definitely add crushed red pepper and paprika. I thought it was good, but don’t know if I’d make again.

It needs something to give it a little zing. Perhaps some dry sherry or lemon juice would do it for me.

Thought about a handful of raisins in this?

This is probably going into regular rotation here. It's quick and easy, and it uses stuff we usually have on hand (except for the potato sticks -- but now that we have bought them and discovered that they're snackable, they'll probably be around more often). Might try it with sour cream at some point, just to see.

Couldn’t find the crispy potato “stix” so I went with the crispy fried onions of green bean casserole fame. They were so good, don’t think I’d want to use anything else.

Potato sticks are also called shoestring potatoes and can be found in a bag in the chip aisle.
