Brazilian chicken stroganoff, known locally as estrogonofe de frango, is a South American take on the Russian classic that turns up on family tables all over Brazil. Chicken breast simmers in a silky sauce built from tomato ketchup, mustard and cream, which makes the dish gently sweet and comforting at once. It is traditionally served over white rice with a handful of crisp potato sticks called batata palha. This is a quick, homey dinner the whole family will happily share.

Step by step process

Preparation

1
For the Brazilian stroganoff, first cut the chicken breast into strips and finely chop the onion with the garlic. Clean the mushrooms and slice them.

Making the sauce

2
Saute the onion and garlic in butter until translucent, add the chicken and cook until it turns white on all sides.
TIP:
Sauté the onion over medium heat until golden or translucent. Add the garlic at the end and sauté briefly to release the aroma, but do not burn it.
3
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook them until they release their water and it evaporates again.
4
Add the ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper, warm briefly, then pour in the cooking cream. Stirring constantly, let the sauce bubble until it slightly thickens.
