Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb chicken breast cut into strips and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
2. Step 2: Add 1 medium chopped white onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
3. Step 3: Stir in 8 oz sliced button mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
4. Step 4: Lower the heat to medium and add 1/4 cup ketchup and 1/2 cup heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and mushrooms.
5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired. Serve the stroganoff hot over 4 cups cooked white rice and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
