STROGANOFF INGREDIENTS
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 long shallots, thinly sliced
• 200g chestnut mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 450g skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1½ tbsp cornflour
• 150mls chicken stock
• 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
• 80g baby spinach
• 150g natural yoghurt
• 1 lemon, juiced to make 1 tsp
• 600g cooked brown rice
• 320g steamed green beans
• ½ a small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
STEP BY STEP
1) Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the shallots for 10 minutes until softened, reducing the heat and adding a splash of water if they start to catch.
2) Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until softened and starting to turn golden. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute, season well and then scrape everything into a bowl.
3) Put the chicken in a large bowl and season. Sprinkle over the cornflour and toss to coat. Wipe the frying pan clean and add the remaining oil. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes or until golden.
4) Add the stock and mustard, along with the mushroom mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and then stir in the spinach, cooking until just wilted. Add the yoghurt and bring to a gentle bubble – don’t simmer for too long or it may split. Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste. Serve with brown rice, green beans, the parsley and a final sprinkle of black pepper.
