Chicken Paprikash

Made this to go with some wild rice and mixed vegetables - lovely creamy sauce.
I used some left over double cream with a tsp of lemon juice. Was enough for 3 people


1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large Chicken Breasts cut up in pieces
1 Medium Onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tbsp Tomato Sauce
300ml chicken stock
6 medium mushrooms, sliced
170ml Soured Cream OR Half Fat Creme Fraiche

chopped parsley to garnish

Heat the oil in a non-stick sauté pan and brown the chicken on all sides. Drain on kitchen paper. Add the onion, garlic and paprika to the pan and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomato sauce and stock, then return the chicken pieces to the pan and season.

Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Add the mushrooms to the pan and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the soured cream and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
