What can you serve with this Chicken Stroganoff with Mushrooms and Peas?
- Serve with Your Favorite Side: While egg noodles or rice are classic accompaniments, feel free to get creative with your sides. Mashed potatoes, quinoa, or even crusty bread are all delicious options. Also, roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, green beans, or a simple salad.
Some tips:
- Sear the Chicken Well: Before removing the chicken from the skillet, make sure it’s nicely browned on all sides. This adds flavor and texture to the dish.
- Use Low-Sodium Chicken Broth: If you’re watching your sodium intake, opt for low-sodium chicken broth. You can always adjust the seasoning later if needed.
- Adjust the Consistency of the Sauce: If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth to thin it out. If it’s too thin, let it simmer for a bit longer to reduce and thicken.
- Add Peas at the End: Frozen peas cook quickly, so add them towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Season Thoughtfully: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
Storage:
- To store chicken stroganoff, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it within two hours of cooking.
- The dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you need to store it for a longer period, consider freezing it.
- When freezing, transfer the chicken stroganoff to a freezer-safe container and label it with the date.
- It can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. To prevent freezer burn, make sure to remove as much air as possible from the container before freezing.
To reheat Chicken Stroganoff:
- Microwave: Place the chicken stroganoff in a microwave-safe dish and heat it on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through. If the dish seems dry, you can add a splash of chicken broth or cream to moisten it up.
How can I make a healthier version of chicken stroganoff?
If you’re looking to make a healthier version of chicken stroganoff, you can substitute the pasta with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles. These low-carb options are a great way to cut down on calories and add more vegetables to your diet.
Add more vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini to the dish and serve over whole wheat noodles or brown rice.
