Authentic Hungarian Chicken Paprikash

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of chicken bone-in, skin-on or boneless
  • 2 tablespoons paprika sweet or smoked
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pot and sear it until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  • In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the paprika and cook for about one minute to release its flavor.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and return the chicken to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken once again, and stir in the sour cream into the sauce until it’s well-combined.
  • Return the chicken to the pot, coat it in the sauce, and reheat gently. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
