Chicken Paprikash

Richly colored with paprika, this traditional Hungarian entrée is full bodied and satisfying. It goes well with Balsamic-Marinated Vegetables (page 78).

Ingredients

Serves 6; 1 cup per serving

2 1/2 cups dried no-yolk noodles
Cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded, cut into bite-size pieces

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken, onion, and tomato to another plate. Set aside.
