Cooking Steps
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Place in a pot, cover with water and season with salt.
- Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander (reserving a little cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot and quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into 1cm pieces.
- Place a pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the chicken, mushrooms and carrots to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry, stirring occasionally, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
NOTE: If you've chosen to swap to beef strips, add them to the hot pan and fry for 2-3 mins then remove before adding the veg. Stir back into the sauce before serving.
- When 1 min of cooking time remains, add the garlic and fry until fragrant.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the paprika, stock, creme fraiche and half the parsley to the pan.
- Stir in 75ml water (per 2P) and leave to simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 mins.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
- Dish up a hearty helping of mashed potato.
- Top with the creamy chicken stroganoff.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining parsley.
