How to make Chicken Stroganoff with Paprika
Step 1 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add egg noodles, and cook according to package directions.
Step 2 - On a cutting board, dice the onion and cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes.
Step 3 - In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat add the olive oil. Add the diced chicken to the hot pan and saute the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 4 - In the same pan add 2 tablespoons butter and the diced onions. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5 - Sprinkle in the mushrooms and garlic and cook, and stir for about 2 more minutes.
Step 6 - Add the remaining butter to the mushroom mixture. Once melted, add the flour and paprika, and stir for about 30 seconds.
Step 7 - Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and cooked chicken. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened about 4-5 minutes.
Step 8 - To the simmering mixture, stir in the sour cream, hot noodles, and add salt and pepper to taste. Top with parsley if desired.

Great recipe - in fact I am having it for dinner tonight. However, I am replacing the noodles with Mashed Potatoes - cause that is what I have in the house. I am also using Better than Bouillon Chicken base - again that is what I have in the house and besides it's low sodium with no added MSG.
