Categories     Stew

Time 50m

Yield 6 portions, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped or
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the paprika.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add onions and remainder of paprika and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes more. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in broth and thyme and simmer 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  • In a small bowl combine flour with sour cream. Reduce heat to low under the Dutch oven. Stir in the sour cream mixture and cook over low, to prevent curdling, about 5 minutes until thickened. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For this stew, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best. They'll stay moist and juicy during the cooking process.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When browning the chicken, do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • Use a good quality paprika: The paprika is the star of this dish, so make sure you're using a good quality one. Look for a paprika that is deep red in color and has a smoky, slightly sweet flavor.
  • Don't skip the vegetables: The vegetables in this stew add flavor and texture. Don't be tempted to skip them!
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and the chicken to become tender.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This stew is delicious served with rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.

Conclusion:

This chicken and paprika stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
