Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 mins, until golden and almost cooked through. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the onion and mushrooms. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Reheat the chicken pan on medium-high heat with 2 tsp oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 6-8 mins, until softened.
  3. Bring a medium saucepan filled with lightly salted hot water to a boil. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain. Return to the pan and stir through 2 tsp oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the broccoli on a lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Roast for 8-10 mins, until crisp and golden. Roughly chop the parsley.
  5. Return the chicken to the mushroom pan. Add the paprika and tomato puree and cook for 1 min. Add the mustard, yoghurt and 200ml hot water. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Simmer for 4-5 mins, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
  6. Check by cutting a large piece in half, the flesh should be white and the juices running clear. Add the cooked pasta and half the parsley to the pan and mix. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  7. Serve the chicken stroganoff with the roasted broccoli. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
