Hungarian Chicken Paprikash

Originally found in the April May 2007 issue of Taste of Home magazine and adapted slightly, replacing the margarine with olive oil, replacing the bone-in chicken parts with boneless skinless chicken breasts (or boneless skinless chicken thighs) and replacing full fat sour cream with light/reduced fat sour cream...Now placed here for safekeeping!
