Chicken Paprikash

Thirty Minute Meals has nothing on me and my chicken!!  So easy and so good -- and quick!

I used a boneless, skinless chicken breast, but you can use bone-in chicken in any variety (just takes longer to cook).  Chopped the chicken into bite-sized pieces for quick cooking.

Here's out it goes:
Melt a tablespoon or two of butter in a skillet.  Saute a chopped shallot until soft and translucent.  Add the chicken and brown just a little (these small pieces are going to cook quickly so you don't want to overcook them!).  Add about a cup of chicken broth (I keep those ready-made cartons available in case I don't have time to make it from scratch), a splash of white wine and simmer for 10 minutes.  Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of good Hungarian Paprika -- I love to use half sweet/half hot with that nice smokey taste!  Simmer another five minutes until the sauce thickens a little bit.  Remove the chicken from the pot and whisk in a heaping teaspoon of flour (you can take the flour and whisk it with a bit of the liquid before putting it back into the pot to make sure it's smooth).  Cook until the sauce is thick and just barely bubbling.  Stir in 1/3-1/2 cup of sour cream, return the chicken to the pot, cook your noodles, and serve!!
