A hearty stroganoff, perfect for a comforting weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
- 6 x Southern Fried Chicken Thighs
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) Olive oil
- 300g mushrooms, sliced
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) smoked paprika
- 2 sprigs of thyme
- 1 broccoli head, broken into florets
- 1 x Instant mushroom soup sachet
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) mustard
- ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream/cream
- To serve, 500g tagliatelle
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and cook chicken thighs for 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and have released their liquid. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
- Add the sliced onions to the same pan (add a tiny bit more oil if needed). Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme sprigs. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pan with the onions and garlic. Prepare the instant mushroom soup according to the package directions (usually by mixing with 1 cup of hot water). Pour the prepared soup into the pan with the vegetables. Add the mushrooms, bring to a simmer, and cook for 8 minutes, until broccoli is tender.
- Stir in the mustard and sour cream (or cream), remove the pan from the heat.
- Serve with pasta and chicken thighs.
