this morning in "today's" kitchen, a new take on the classic dish,
beef stroganoff
. how it can be just as delicious, a
little
bit better for you using chicken in stead. what was the inpicture ration for this?
>>
my new book is really about twisting classics. i'm all about twisting classics, really making them something that's healthy, you know, quicker, easier. but also --
>>
and this is a
little
more economical.
>>
a
little
bit more budget friendly, but also looking at, you know, what is is it, we're getting into the fall, we're starting to cool down, we got to warm up some with these dishes and this is all about
comfort food
.
>>
you're using chicken thighs here.
>>
i'm using chicken thighs. everybody goes straight for the
chicken breast
, again they're budget friendly and there's a lot of flavor. you dice them up into small bite sized pieces. you cook it up, brown it really nicely and then take a mosala. deglaze it. get all this really good stuff off the bottom of the pan is what deglazing is, and then adding in some
chicken stock
. add in some
chicken stock
, let that reduce, and then i whisk in a
little
bit of dejohn miscard there. a
little
acid flavor, a
little
bit of braun aniness. and fresh teragon. so then you move down, and what i do is i take everything out of the pan, i've got the chicken here, let my sauce start reducing, so you get this nice syrupy texture to it. then i'm going to add in a light
sour cream
. you can use light
sour cream
, and i know you like to eat healthy.
>>
i like to eat unhealthy, too. but if you can alternate them. there's nothing wrong with that. now you've got a nice creamy sauce.
>>
a nice creamy sauce and i'm going to add my chicken and my shallots too. you want those pan juices in there. you simmer five, ten minutes and you're ready to go. you can serve it on rice or
brown rice
if you want to get even healthier, but i like the classic egg noodle. there's nothing like serving it on the egg noodle.
>>
you should have a spoon that has a bottom on it.
>>
there you go, you help me out there. perfect. that's amazing.
>>
that looks like perfect food for a cold, right?
>>
it is.
>>
it's like
chicken noodle soup
without the soup.
>>
you put mushrooms in your stroganoff.
>>
it is classic to have a
little
mushroom in your stroganoff, but this one i added a
little
lightness.
>>
you just want that sauce. al's all about the sauce. good thing i used light
sour cream
.
>>
very good. and this is fantastic, again, fall is coming around and it's all about
comfort foods
, all about yummy dishes, but we also don't want to hibernate and bulk up.
