Recipe - Chicken Stroganoff using leftover Turkey Gravy

Chicken Stroganoff using leftover Turkey Gravy

After Thanksgiving, my grandma sent us home with a ton of turkey gravy.  Unfortunately, the gravy outlasted the leftover turkey and mashed potatoes and since I'm a gravy fiend, I didn't want it to go to waste.  Using the already-thickened gravy eliminated the need for adding flour to the sour cream at the end.  My family doesn't like onions or mushrooms, so I omitted them, though you could certainly include them to make this a more robust meal.  Here is the recipe I concocted that my gravy-averse husband enjoyed:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Paprika, to taste
Onion powder, to taste
1 1/2 c. turkey gravy
1/2 c. sour cream
Buttered noodles

Cut the chicken into 1-inch strips.  In a large skillet, brown the chicken in the olive oil and season with paprika and onion powder to taste (I used about 1 t. paprika and 1/2 t. onion powder).  Once the chicken is browned, add the gravy and heat through until hot and bubbly.  Stir in sour cream and heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Serve over hot buttered noodles.

Serves 4.

I served this with sauteed haricot verts and it was yummy!
