Chicken Stroganoff I

"I wanted something like the traditional beef stroganoff and threw this one together, writing down everything as I went so I wouldn't forget. I served with noodles, but rice would be great, too. Asparagus for a vegetable and a green or fruit salad is great! Nutmeg seems to be the secret ingredient of many Stroganoff recipes."
