Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Chicken Paprikash recipe featuring tender chicken thighs in a creamy paprika sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked egg noodles or rice (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Sprinkle the sweet paprika over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the chicken paprikash over cooked egg noodles or rice, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine to the skillet after browning the chicken and let it reduce before adding the chicken broth.
- Substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option, but be careful not to overcook them to keep them tender.
