Beef Stroganoff with Chicken Breast

Cookinero 23 Apr 2025

Traditionally, beef stroganoff is made from beef or veal. However, nutritionists recommend replacing red meat with chicken. Chicken breast is usually a dry meat, but the sauce in beef stroganoff will make it juicy and tender. Beef stroganoff made from chicken breast with cream will fit perfectly into a children's menu. It is especially tasty to combine meat with gravy and mashed potatoes. For this dish, choose the freshest chicken fillet. The cream for the recipe will need to be of medium fat content to get a rich sauce.

How to cook Beef Stroganoff with Chicken Breast

Step 1

Beef Stroganoff with Chicken Breast

Prepare the chicken for frying. Clean the chicken fillet from the films and cut it across the grain into thin strips. Since chicken meat is already quite tender, it does not need to be beaten with a kitchen hammer to make it soft, as is done with beef.

Fry the chicken. To do this, put the frying pan on the fire and melt the butter, add the vegetable oil. Put the meat cubes and fry them on a moderate heat until light in color. Stir the meat with a spatula. Put the prepared garlic in the frying pan along with the chicken fillet. There is no need to chop the cloves, they will give aroma and you will take them back later.

Beef Stroganoff with Chicken Breast - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute beef (such as sirloin or tenderloin) for chicken breast. Slice it thinly against the grain and optionally tenderize it with a meat hammer for a more traditional Beef Stroganoff.
For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, Greek yogurt, or coconut milk (for dairy-free). Note that the sauce may be slightly less rich and thick.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
Yes! Replace regular flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 ratio) when thickening the sauce. Check other ingredients (like paprika) for hidden gluten.
Yes, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on low heat, stirring occasionally to restore the sauce's consistency.
Try egg noodles, rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables. For low-carb options, serve over cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles.
Yes, omit garlic if preferred, or use 1/4 tsp garlic powder per clove. For a milder flavor, sauté shallots or leeks instead.
Replace chicken with mushrooms (cremini or portobello) or tofu. Use vegetable broth instead of water and ensure cream/paprika are vegetarian-friendly.
