Meanwhile, cut chicken into chunks and place in a bowl.

Place the chicken in the hot pan and brown, (in multiple batches if necessary) about 2-5 minutes on each side.
(Chicken does not have to cook all the way through).
Remove from Dutch oven and transfer to a plate (continue with remaining chicken if needed).
Add remaining olive oil to the skillet.
Add mushrooms and cook until brown, about 4 minutes.

Recipe Notes
NOTE: I accidentally read the original recipe incorrectly and added the pasta uncooked. So I added an additional 2 cups of homemade chicken broth and cooked the noodles about 5-7 minutes, covered, until the noodles were cooked through. Then I added an additional one-third cup of sour cream. I garnished the entrée with additional thyme and paprika. I did not feel the entrée needed any additional seasoning.
NOTE: If you add the noodles into the sauce without pre-cooking them first, add an additional 2 cups of chicken broth and cook the noodles, covered with lid, an additional 5-7 minutes until noodles cook through.
