Tray-Baked Chicken Stroganoff

I'mPat's Note:

From our local/state paper, sounds interesting though I think I would make it without the cherry tomatoes (so have made them optional), times are estimated. Serve with crusty bread.

1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C (fan forced).
2. Place chicken in a bowl and sprinkle with paprika and toss to coat and then place chicken in a baking dish.
3. Combine stock and garlic and pour over the chicken and then bake for 40 minutes turning chicken drumsticks half way through.

This is a far cry from any stroganoff I've ever made before, but it was super fast and simple to put together to make. I used a really well flavoured home made stock which was a great flavour booster and I thought the tomatoes and mushrooms cooked up really well in it. I used a teaspoon more smoked paprika as I couldn't believe 1/2 a teaspoon would be sufficient. I'm so glad I did as there wasn't much more flavour got into the chicken. The pan juices didn't evaporate at all, so it was going to be very runny on the plate-I reduced it by half to serve which worked well. This was a really good one dish dinner and I added onion wedges and potatoes in the baking dish as well. Thanks for posting Pat.
