Method
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken with the minced garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate briefly to enhance the flavors.
Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Sauté the chopped onions until they are translucent and lightly golden.
Cooking
Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook until the pieces are browned on all sides and cooked through.
Stir in the mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard, mixing well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently until the sauce is uniform and hot, but remove from the heat immediately before it starts to boil.
Serving
Plate the stroganoff next to a portion of white rice and top generously with crispy potato sticks for that signature Brazilian crunch.
Chef's Notes
For the most authentic experience, serve alongside fluffy white rice and shoestring potato sticks. Do not let the sauce boil once the heavy cream is added to prevent curdling.
