Ingredients
- 1 calorie controlled cooking spray
- 750g chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 2 red onions, diced
- 2 green peppers, deseeded and sliced
- 3 tbsp smoked paprika
- 30g flour (plain)
- 800ml chicken stock
- 450g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 200g soured cream
- 4 tbsp dill
Directions
1
Mist a large flameproof casserole with cooking spray and set over a high heat. Season the chicken, then fry it in batches for 3 minutes on each side, until browned all over. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Mist the casserole again, then fry the onions and peppers, covered, over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Add the paprika and flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually add the stock and cook, stirring, until the mixture bubble and thickens slightly. Stir in the mushrooms and simmer for 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the casserole, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, covered, until the chicken is cooked through.
