Chicken Paprikash

6 Chicken Cutlets
1 cup of sour cream
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp of  milk
2 Tbsp of Paprika
1 bag of "No Yolk" Egg Noodles

Season chicken w/ salt and pepper.  In large skillet, start cooking the chicken.  Brown on both sides. In the meantime, in large pasta pot, bring lightly salted water to boil and cook pasta. When chicken is complete, combine sour cream, milk, and soup.  Mix with chicken and scrape up bits, lower temp to medium.  When pasta is done, drain and spoon mixture over noodles.  Serve with broccoli on side.


Pepper Steak

1 Pound of Boneless Beef Sirloin - 3/4 inch thick cut into strips
1.5 cups of sliced Green Pepper (1-2 Green Peppers)
2 beef boullion
1- 1.5 cups of water
4-6 servings of white rice (follow directions on box)

Cook sirloin strips (spray a bit of non-stick spray in skillet first) in skillet - saute until cooked through.  Add Green peppers and saute about 3 minutes.  In the meantime, start the rice.  Then add a cup of water and 2 beef boullion.  When boullion dissolves, add a bit of Wondra  or cornstarch mixed with a bit of water to thicken.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve over rice.  (This is a balancing act, so if you want more gravy, add more water and boullion.  Just add a little at a time.).
