Healthy Chicken Stroganoff
This easy-to-follow Healthy Chicken Stroganoff recipe is made with yogurt and it is a perfect meal for a busy weeknight dinner because it comes together in 30 minutes.
In Brazil, Chicken Stroganoff is one of the most popular dishes for dinner or even lunch. In Canada, people also like to eat Chicken Stroganoff but the difference I can see here is that people like to eat it over pasta instead of rice. All my life, I’ve never eaten stroganoff over pasta. Down there, it is over rice, but now I eat stroganoff over pasta too! I have to be honest. I am still enjoying much more stroganoff with rice than pasta. I guess it is just my preference.
Why am I calling this recipe Healthy Chicken Stroganoff? It is just because I didn’t add one cup of half cream or sour cream. For this recipe, I just used half a cup of Greek Yogurt instead since it has good quality fat and protein. If you like yogurt I am sure you will love this recipe. I have to be honest. If you don’t enjoy yogurt, you probably won’t find this recipe very tasty because you will taste a lot the flavor of the yogurt. In case you don’t eat yogurt, you can make this recipe using sour cream.

I have not made stroganoff in for ever but I know this would be something my family would enjoy very much. Love the fact that you made it healthier 🙂
I’d like to make this recipe as it sounds very good but I was wondering if 1 cup of raw chicken is the correct quantity? It doesn’t sound like very much chicken to serve 4 people. Did you mean 1 pound?
Thanks!
OH thanks for catching that. It is 2 cup of raw chicken, diced.
Dont use nonfat Greek Yogurt, it was creamy but had no flavor, i added some butter to give it flavor… next time i’ll use full fat greek yogurt or cream cheese
otherwise i really liked this recipe,
Yes for sure this recipe is better with full fat greek yogurt!
