Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika divided
1 1/2 teaspoons salt divided
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons Heinz chili sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts

Instructions

Combine flour, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon of salt in a shallow dish.
Coat the tenderloins in the flour mixture.
Heat butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
When hot add the flour coated chicken tenderloins. Brown both sides of chicken.
Place chicken in a lightly greased 7x11-inch baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Add chicken broth to the pan drippings in the skillet. Turn the heat to medium and stir to scrape up any browned bits.
Add the remaining paprika, salt, sour cream, sherry, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Stir well and cook until heated through.
Add the water chestnuts to the sauce and pour the sauce over the chicken.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Serve with rice.

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled and cooked in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cooking time is the same.

The sherry can be left out.

Ketchup can be used instead of the chili sauce.

Use a good quality paprika. It is the main flavor that you will taste. A Hungarian paprika is best. Paprika varies a lot from being sweet to spicy and the color can vary a great deal too.
