Healthy Chicken Stroganoff in Homemade Whole-Wheat Cheese Tortillas
Stroganoff is a favorite food in many households. But who said we cannot prepare it in a healthy and fit version?
Traditional stroganoff is a rich meal, packed with calories that will please you especially during colder months. However, my healthy version of stroganoff tastes almost identically, but has a significantly lower fat and calorie content.
I hope that this recipe for fit chicken stroganoff will delight many of you. It is one of our most popular main dishes with chicken at all. I serve it with these homemade whole-wheat tortillas with melted cheese, which go great with it. For a gluten-free version, you can use buckwheat flour.
It's a fast and easy meal you will prepare in 35 minutes and it is even tastier on the next day. It is ideal for boxed diets, but also if you want to prepare a tasty meal for a few days and save yourself from work in the kitchen. Therefore you can double the ingredients and prepare it for a few days ahead, for the entire family.
This healthy chicken stroganoff is not thickened with cream, but do not worry, it doesn't loose any flavor at all. Check it out yourself and don't forget to let me know in a comment about how did you like it.
