Favorite Chicken Paprika

Submitted by jenpalombi

"This chicken in a paprika tomato sauce is perfect served over hot buttered egg noodles. A family favorite! I originally got this from The Essential Cookbook, but adapted it very slightly to suit my own tastes."

• 1 lb boneless chicken tenderloins

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a casserole dish, heat the butter and oil on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

I used a smoky paprika and it was delicious! Quick and easy for midweek meal

WE enjoyed this meal very much. I did play with it a bit myslf though, I must confess. Instead of browning the chicken in oil, I simmered it in a cup of chicken broth,which I also then added to the sauce. I also added flour to 8 oz. of sour cream and mixed it in the sauce prior to serving. It's a good recipe when you don't feel like tackling the tradional method - quite, easy and with good results.

I thought this recipe was pretty good...I didn't have tomatoes so I used tomato soup, and I also doctored it up with some seasonings. It probably wasn't anything close to real chicken paprikash, but it tasted pretty good to me. The kids didn't care for it much, so maybe better for a grown-up meal if I add the extra seasonings.
