Saucy Chicken over Rice

This recipe doesn't really have a name because I made it up one time, although it reminds me of a dish that I often ate in Germany. I'm sharing it with you because it has become one of our favorites. It's fast, easy, and delicious. Also, I'm just giving you general guidelines, not an exact recipe, and you can adjust to how much your family generally eats.* Really, try this dish and you won't be sorry.


Yumminess
  • red bell pepper, cut in strips
  • mushrooms, sliced
  • onion, sliced
  • chicken, cooked and diced or shredded
  • whole milk
  • sour cream
  • salt
  • pepper
  • onion salt
  • paprika
  • rice
Saute pepper, mushrooms, and onions in butter until tender. Add chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with onion salt and a liberal amount of paprika. (I don't have any guideline for you, but I use quite a bit.) Pour in milk (enough that mixture is nearly covered but not quite) and let simmer a bit with the lid on the pan. Then add a couple spoonfuls of sour cream and stir. Don't add too much or the sour cream taste will overpower the dish rather than simply giving it depth.

The sauce won't be thick, but it will be yummy. Serve over rice.

*I'll give you an idea of the amounts I used tonight so you can adjust accordingly: one red bell pepper, two huge mushrooms (probably the equivalent of 6 normal ones), one small onion, and half a can of chicken.
