Easy Chicken Paprikash

Hungarian braised chicken in a rich paprika sour cream sauce — take the pan off the heat before stirring in the sour cream, since boiling it can cause the sauce to split.

Ingredients

8chicken thighs
3 tbspsweet paprika
1 cupsour cream

Instructions

1

Brown the chicken thighs well on both sides in a hot pan, then remove and set aside.

2

This browning builds most of the flavour of the dish, so do not skip it.

3

In the same pan, saute the onion until soft, stir in the paprika and cook briefly until fragrant, then return the chicken and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes until tender.

4

Remove the pan from the heat before stirring in the sour cream, so the sauce stays smooth rather than splitting. Serve over noodles or dumplings.
