"Waiter, there is too much pepper in my Paprikash!" You just can't help but remember Billy Crystal's famous line from the movie, 'When Harry Met Sally' when you make this warm, comforting dish. There are many versions of Chicken Paprikash, I was drawn to this straightforward recipe from ConAgra Foods because it looked fairly simple to assemble. With just a few ingredients it makes a mildly spicy, velvety sauce that goes perfectly with rice, noodles or even canned biscuits cut up and simmered as dumplings. You could make it even easier by using chicken tenders. I placed my 10 inch oven over a full compliment of coals then once I covered it, placed about 14 more on the lid. In 15-20 minutes the sauce was bubbling and the chicken was tender. Be sure to mix a little of the hot sauce in with the sour cream before adding it back into the pot, use the low fat version if you want to cut the calories.
