Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 0.75 teaspoon salt (divided)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
• 8 ounce cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.25 cup tomato paste
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cup white rice (uncooked)
• 4 cup water
• 5 ounce crispy potato sticks

Instructions

1. Begin cooking the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups white rice, 4 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and keep covered.
2. While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the 1 and 1/2 pounds chicken breast pieces with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to release their liquid.
4. Stir in the 1/4 cup tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it coats the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup ketchup, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
5. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Remove from heat.
6. Serve the chicken stroganoff immediately over the fluffy white rice. Top generously with crispy potato sticks before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though potato sticks are best added just before serving to maintain crispness.
