Chicken Paprika

This is a dish my mom has been making ever since I can remember.  This for me is real comfort food.  It is perfect for a mid-week meal: not too many ingredients, not much prep time and quick to cook.  I have given this recipe a healthy makeover, switching sour cream for plain fat-free yoghurt, and if you ask me the dish is no worse off for the substitution – it was DELICIOUS!  So, here is the recipe:
