Chicken Paprika

Submitted by miindecisive

"I consider this a chicken version of beef stroganoff. Its one of my favorites. I like using shells as the pasta because it picks up a lot of the sauce. The chicken always comes out tender and falling off the bone. I just use chicken legs but I've used breast before too."
