Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Spray a large skillet or frying pan with low calorie cooking spray.
- Heat the pan and cook the chicken for 3 minutes per side over medium heat. If the pan gets very dry add a small splash of the stock. Set the chicken aside.
- Deglaze the pan with a splash of beef stock and turn heat down to medium high. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and then add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms, stirring, until golden about 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and cook, stirring, for a minute.
- Pour in the remaining beef stock and stir to combine. Lower the heat to a simmer. Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and add the Quark. Stir until combined, I used a small balloon whisk to do this.
- Bring to simmer again and cook over low heat for 3 minutes until sauce is slightly reduced.
- Add chicken back in and continue to simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Add chopped parsley and check the seasoning – add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over pasta or rice, sprinkle with more fresh parsley.
Notes
- This simple chicken recipe is wonderful over pasta, especially tagliatelle. But I also love it over rice or mash which absorbs the yummy sauce. Make sure to add some extra speed foods to fill up your plate, such as broccoli, wilted spinach or any steamed veggies.
- This recipe uses mini chicken breasts which cook very quickly. If you are using whole chicken breasts you will have to butterfly them. Place the chicken on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to slice into the side of the breast, not cutting all the way through. Open the breast up to flatten (this is the ‘butterfly’ part) and then cover with clingfilm and gently flatten using a rolling pin.
- You can cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces before adding back into the sauce if you like.
- To make a Vegerarian Stroganoff replace the chicken with an extra 600g (1.2 lb) of mixed mushrooms, maybe some wild ones for more taste, and replace the beef with vegetable stock.
