The classic chicken stroganoff recipe is easily adaptable and can be modified to suit personal tastes and dietary needs. This recipe uses chicken, but if you prefer a lighter flavor, you can easily replace the protein source with another chicken, such as chicken thighs or breast. Or you can replace it with turkey (a good way to use up Thanksgiving or Christmas leftovers). Alternatively, you can make this dish vegetarian by choosing tofu or a mixture of vegetables. To create a lighter option and reduce the calorie content of each serving, try replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt. If you’re catering to vegans (or dairy-intolerant diners), why not choose dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk or cashew cream?
Another easy way to adapt this chicken stroganoff recipe is to add different vegetables to the stew, along with onions and mushrooms. This not only adds flavor and color to the finished dish, but is also a great way to increase your vegetable intake and increase the nutritional value of your stroganoff. Think corn, broccoli, green beans, or peas.
