Chicken Stroganoff

I didn't know that there was such a thing as chicken stroganoff, but why not? Beef, lamb, turkey... it shouldn't really make any difference. Well cooked meat in a cream sauce is likely to work with a variety of meats. 


1.Cut boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs) into 1/2 inch strips.

2. Roll them in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, and curry.

3. Saute these in a medium hot pan in coconut oil.

4. After the chicken is browned, add enough broth to nearly cover the chicken. Add a few tablespoons of butter, the juice of one lemon, a little dill weed,  and let simmer slowly for an hour or so.

5. When the chicken is very tender, add any combination of sliced mushrooms, diced tomatoes, peas, asparagus or any other quick cooking vegetable you have on hand. Diced carrots are good too. but they will need to be added a little earlier.

6. While the chicken is simmering, you can prepare potatoes, rice, or noodles to serve as a base for the chicken. Spaghetti squash or zoodles are good options, too.

7. When the vegetables are cooked to your taste, add a few generous tablespoons of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. To go dairy free, you could simply skip this last step.
