  3. Add chicken pieces and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion to the skillet; sauté until vegetables are tender.
  6. Return the browned chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  7. Stir in chicken broth, paprika, dillweed, and pepper.
  8. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  9. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water; stir until smooth and lump-free.
  10. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and stir constantly over medium heat until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens.
  11. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring, to ensure the sauce is fully thickened.
