Light Chicken Stroganoff Recipe

  Chicken

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (35 g) sun-dried tomatoes, not packed in oil
1 pound (455 g) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch (1-cm) strips
Ground white pepper
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons (23 ml) vegetable oil
1 medium-size onion (about 6 oz./170 g), thinly sliced
8 ounces (230 g) mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (240 ml) plain low-fat yogurt
8 ounces (230 g) medium-wide eggless noodles
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 cup (60 ml) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup (180 ml) dry white wine
2 tablespoons (30 ml) dry sherry
Chopped parsley

Directions:
To make this tempting dish, we revised a favorite containing a generous measure of butter and sour cream. The new version is far lower in fat than the original, but just as rich in flavor.

Ingredients:
In a small bowl, soak tomatoes in hot water to cover until very soft (about 1 hour). Drain well, cut into strips, and set aside.

Sprinkle chicken with white pepper; dust with flour and shake off excess. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the oil in a wide nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, about half at a time, and cook, lifting and turning often, until lightly browned (4 to 5 minutes). Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

When chicken has been cooked, heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in pan. Add onion, mushrooms, ginger, and thyme; cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and mushrooms are lightly browned (10 to 12 minutes).

Meanwhile, stir cornstarch mixture and sugar into yogurt and set aside. Also, in a 4 1/2- to 5-quart (4.3- to 5-liter) pan, cook noodles in 2 1/2 quarts (2.4 liters) boiling water just until tender to bite (about 10 minutes); or cook according to package directions. Drain, then arrange around edge of a warm deep platter; keep warm.

Stir garlic into mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in broth, wine, and sherry. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add tomatoes, chicken, and yogurt mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring until sauce is thickened. Spoon chicken mixture into center of noodles and sprinkle with parsley.

Yield: Makes 4 servings.
