Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the plant-based chicken chunks to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Stir in the tomato paste, Dijon mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Mix well to coat the plant-based chicken.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms soften and release their moisture.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the coconut milk and plant-based cooking cream. Stir to combine and let simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings if needed.
Once the strogonoff is ready, remove it from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot over white rice and top with optional shoestring potato chips for a traditional touch.
