My mom learned to make this tender chicken dish when she volunteered to help prepare the dinners served at her church. It's my favorite main dish, and the gravy, seasoned with paprika, sour cream and onions, is the best. —Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

This recipe tastes just like what my mom used to make when I was younger. I cut the chicken into pieces for faster cooking time and made egg noodles with it. Delicious!

Just made this for dinner with the Spatzels. Absolutely delicious. Thought the spatzels would be difficult, used my deep fry basket and they drop right in the pan.
