Tips for Experienced Cooks

Experiment with using different types of smoked paprika, such as sweet or hot, to subtly adjust the dish's flavor profile. Consider finishing the dish with a splash of dry white wine before adding the yogurt, for an extra layer of complexity. If you're aiming for a silkier sauce, blend the tomato sauce and chicken broth with an immersion blender before adding.

Step 1: Heat the oil and cook the chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken

Step 2: Cook the vegetables

Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)

Step 3: Season the dish

Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Step 4: Simmer the sauce

Add the chicken broth and tomato sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup tomato sauce

Step 5: Finish the dish

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the chicken stroganoff over cooked brown rice.
