Low Fat and Dreamy, Chicken Stroganoff
Traditional Stroganoff is made with thin slices of beef, onions, mushrooms, all sautéed in butter and combined with a rich sour cream sauce. This skinny recipe uses similar ingredients but with many reduced-fat replacements. For example, I’ve swapped the beef with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Next, instead of fat-laden regular sour cream, I’m using fat-free. In addition, cooking the mushrooms and onions in the microwave without using any fat at all. This fabulous dish is served over whole grain, fiber rich pasta. Each serving has 392 calories and 5 grams of fat. All you’ll need to complete this meal is a side salad or vegetable.
