Ingredients
- 750 g chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp hot paprika (adjust to your spice preference)
- 400 g tomatoes diced (canned or fresh)
- 300 ml chicken broth
- 300 ml sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp flour (optional) for thickening
- fresh parsley for garnish
- cooked egg noodles or rice for serving
Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides. You may need to do this in batches. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onions and garlic.
- Sauté them until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sweet paprika and hot paprika (adjust the amount of hot paprika to your preferred level of spiciness).
- Stir well to coat the onions and garlic in the paprika.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the pot.
- Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot.
- Pour in the chicken broth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and let the chicken simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream and flour (if using) until smooth.
- To prevent the sour cream from curdling when added to the hot liquid, you'll need to temper it. To do this, add a spoonful of the hot liquid from the pot into the sour cream mixture and stir well. Repeat this a few times.
- Slowly add the tempered sour cream mixture to the pot while stirring constantly. This will create a creamy sauce.
- Let the chicken paprikash simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to heat through and thicken the sauce.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chicken paprikash over cooked egg noodles or rice.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.Enjoy your homemade chicken paprikash with its rich and creamy sauce!
