Ingredients

→ Main ingredients

01 14 oz (400g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
02 3 medium carrots
03 2 kohlrabi bulbs
04 1 yellow onion
05 2 garlic cloves

→ For the creamy sauce

06 3/4 cup (200g) sour cream
07 1 1/2 cups (350ml) vegetable broth
08 1-2 teaspoons cornstarch
09 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
10 1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
11 Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 Sweet paprika powder

Instructions

Step 01

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. Peel the kohlrabi and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 02

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 03

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the carrots and kohlrabi, stirring to coat in the oil. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still have some bite.

Step 04

Stir in the sour cream and season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the cornstarch mixture. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is heated through. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  1. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed basmati rice.
  2. It's a well-balanced meal with protein and plenty of vegetables.
