Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
1 onion (optional - to
prepare without onions, see note at bottom of page)
1/4 cup all purpose
flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon finely
chopped fresh basil OR 1/4 teaspoon basil, crushed
2 cups chicken broth or
bouillon
2 tablespoons catsup
2 cups sliced cooked
chicken (about 2 boneless, skinless breasts)
1/2 cup sour cream
8 ozs. fettuccine or
other medium-sized noodles
1 tablespoon oil
Directions
Heat oil in a skillet
and cook chicken until there is no more pink left
throughout. Slice chicken into roughly 2 x 3/4-inch
slices, about 1/8-1/4-inch thick (whichever
thickness you prefer)..
Slice onion in half,
then slice 1/4-inch slices from each half, making
half circle slices. In a large skillet, melt butter,
then add onion slices and sauté on low-medium heat
until tender, stirring frequently (about 3-4
minutes).
In a small mixing bowl,
whisk together flour, paprika, salt, pepper and
basil. Stir flour mixture into onions until
thoroughly blended. Add chicken broth and catsup,
and stir until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove
from heat, then stir in chicken and sour cream and
gently mix until blended. Gently fold noodles into
chicken and sauce until fully blended. Serve.
Note: To prepare
without onions, simply omit the onions and add 1/2
teaspoon onion powder to flour mixture. Melt butter
in skillet and add the flour mixture, stirring until
fully blended, then follow remaining recipe
directions. |
