Savor the rich flavors of Chicken Paprikash a comforting Hungarian classic that turns simple ingredients into a hearty unforgettable meal

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

    • Instructions

  • Start by melting the butter in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook slowly until they turn a deep golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the onions are golden, lower the heat and sprinkle the paprika evenly over them. Stir quickly to mix the paprika in without burning it.
  • Place the chicken thighs into the pan, skin side down first. Let them brown for about 5 minutes without moving them.
  • Flip the chicken, add garlic, and pour in the chicken broth. If using tomatoes, add them now. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for 30-35 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Slowly stir a few spoonfuls of hot cooking liquid into this mix to temper the sour cream.
  • Pour the tempered sour cream mixture back into the pan. Stir gently over very low heat for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Do not let it boil.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, ideally over buttery egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
