Watch Gordon rustle up his delicious stroganoff recipe

Gordon gave his chicken a German twist with this tasty stroganoff dish fresh from the F Word kitchen

Serves 4

Ingredients

For the stroganoff:

450g chicken breast, cut into thin strips
2 tsp smoked paprika
50ml olive oil
1 onion, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 green pepper, sliced
Button mushrooms, quartered
150ml chicken stock
Splash white wine
Approx 50ml sour cream
Approx 70g sugar snap peas, blanched
Flat leaf parsley, large handful, chopped

For the spätzle:

150g plain flour
1 whole egg plus 1 yolk, beaten
45ml milk
45ml water
1tsp salt
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
Knob of butter to serve

Method: How to make smoked paprika chicken stroganoff with spätzle

1. To make the spätzle, sift the flour and add the salt and nutmeg. Beat the egg and egg yolk together and mix with the flour to form a paste. Mix the milk and water and add gradually until it forms a thick batter.

2. Boil a pan of water. Rest a colander over the top of the pan of water. Pour the batter into the colander and push it through the holes with the spatula - do this in one or two batches (you can also use a potato ricer to the same effect by inserting the specific perforated disc). Simmer the spätzle for a minute or so then remove with a slotted spoon on to a plate to cool.

3. Sprinkle the chicken with smoked paprika and season. In a hot pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and pan fry for 2 - 3 minutes until golden and three quarters cooked, put to one side to rest.

4. Reheat the frying pan with fresh olive oil, sauté the onion and garlic until tender then add the peppers and the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine, add a ladle of chick stock and bring to the boil. Add the sour cream and mix through. (Watch the video of Gordon making the stroganoff)

5. Add the cooked chicken and any extra juices into the sauce and bring back to the boil (add more chicken stock if drying out). Finally mix through the sugar snap peas and flat leaf parsley.

6. Meanwhile in a separate pan melt some butter, season the spätzle with oil and some salt and pepper and sauté the cooked spätzle until golden.

7. Serve the stroganoff in warm bowls and sprinkle the spätzle on top.

David - "Sprinkle the chicken with smoked paprika and season." The clue is in the word 'season'.

Worst Chicken recipe buy Gordon so far. Completely flavor less. I've never tried paprika, but no where on the Ingredients does it ever mention Sensoning. I thought the Paprika was it. It had absolutly no flavor. Very bland Gordon

foreigner! when you want a really special and "native" hungarian gulash, try to buy a kind of smashed paprika, called "eros pista" (it meens: stephen, the strong). please, note, it is really-really spicy! but gives a unchangable taste! good luck PS: it is in a small bottle, app. size of a a child-hand

Anyone know of a good replacement for spatzle in this recipe? I am short on time every now and then and don't wanna make it from fresh every time... :)

for dee in ireland, i get my smoked paprika from places such as indoor markets where you may get ethnic stalls, we live close to Coventry andthey have a superb indoor market where Indian, Chinese, Mexican, African spice are sold from big screwtop jars by the gram, failing that I have seen excellent variety in Morrisons.

I am 26 years old and since having my daughter 4months ago i have become really interested in cooking and i am always looking for new recipes and heathier ways to cook. i love watching the f word and i have found it easy to my surprise as i was never any good in the kichen. Before it was always quick easy and fatty foods i use to go for.I am also finding that now i cook better food than i did before the weight is dropping off which is really great

Interesting variation of Hungarian Chicken Paprikas that I've made for family events over the past 30 years. Once a year, we make a batch with our fresh March peas. The sugar snap peas will make that flavor available all year long. Good idea, thanks. I still make spaetzle the way my grandmother taught me, sorry, can't get this recipe to come out as well. Overall, great change of pace.

I am a 27 year old male and have never really been in the kitchen. i was fed up with the same coking day in day out and cant afford to eat out. So i picked up the laptop and looked up Gordon Ramsay and this is what i found. I am so glad i did as this was very easy to make only took about 45mins and it was on the plate.The best meal I have had ages cant wait till tomorrow to see what i make.
