Tips & Notes

  • Health Twist

    For only 14 grams of fat and 265 calories per serving, just omit the oil and use a nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Remove skin from the chicken before cooking, and use reduced-fat sour cream.

  • Variation

    Stir 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried dill weed into the sour cream before adding it to the skillet for Chicken Paprika with Dilled Sour Cream.
