Chicken Paprika

November6

There are times on Sundays when I enjoy getting supper ready in advance in case I have an afternoon commitment.  Such was the case this weekend when I was able to prepare this chicken dish right after lunch.

Just before all the kids arrived home I through the vegetables in the oven to roast and made a pot of broad egg noodles and another of brown rice.  Good thing I did, because this dish was such a big hit that even a double batch was completely consumed.  The sauce in particular was absolutely delicious when poured over the pasta or rice.
