Brazilian Chicken Stroganoff Recipe | Estrogonofe de Frango

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is plant-based and lower in calories; chicken thighs are more affordable.

potato sticks

🥗Healthier: baked sweet potato fries

💰Cheaper: homemade potato chips

Sweet potato fries offer a healthier alternative with added nutrients.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free, while liquid aminos are often less expensive.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté until soft. Then add the chicken strips and cook until they begin to brown.

Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

Season lightly with salt and pepper, then add mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and ketchup — stirring well after each addition.

Add the mushrooms and tomato sauce. Stir everything together and let it cook for 3–5 minutes.

Turn off the heat. Only then add the table cream (this prevents curdling). Mix until smooth and creamy.

Serve hot with white rice and batata palha (crispy shoestring potatoes) for the authentic Brazilian touch.
