2  Cook noodles as directed on package; drain.

3  Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Use slotted spoon to remove chicken from skillet.

4  Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; add onions, bell peppers and garlic. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Stir in paprika and flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese and sour cream.

5  Return noodles to pot they were cooked in; add cooked chicken and onion-bell pepper mixture. Stir to combine. Pour into baking dish.

6  Cover with foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.

7  Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; stir to coat. Cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in parsley. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over baked casserole, and serve.
