CHICKEN PAPRIKA
My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

PAPRIKA CHICKEN WITH SOUR CREAM GRAVY
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 F. Lightly oil a large baking dish and set it aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Brown the chicken breasts in the hot oil.
- Spread the sliced onions across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the chicken on top of the onions and sprinkle the breasts evenly with the paprika.
- Pour the broth over the chicken.
- Bake it for 45 to 55 minutes or until the chicken breasts register at least 165 F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
- Skim the fat from the juices remaining in the baking dish, then strain the liquid or put it through a gravy separator.
- Put the strained juices in a saucepan (or use the baking dish if it is safe for the stovetop). Bring the liquids to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavors.
- Whisk in the sour cream and flour mixture and heat, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened. Do not let it boil.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA WITH SOUR CREAM
A delicious chicken recipe for tonight's dinner. This takes a little time to cook, but it's so easy and very tasty. Serrano chilis definitely bring the heat, but the sour cream adds a tang and creaminess. Chopped parsley on top for a pop of fresh flavor and you have a fantastic dish.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH SOUR CREAM
Slow-cooking dark leg meat results in incredibly tender, flavorful chicken. However, if you prefer white meat you can substitute bone-in chicken breasts. Placing the onions on the bottom of the slow cooker will ensure that they become silky soft as the chicken releases its juices, creating a heady sauce.

CHICKEN IN SOUR CREAM PAPRIKA SAUCE
This is a favorite family meal I serve often during the chilly winter months. Warm, comforting, and fairly easy to fix. Purists beware -while this may remind some of vaguely of a Hungarian Paprikash dish, this is NOT at all claiming to be a traditional recipe - just a comforting chicken dish in a creamy, red sauce that I like to serve over steamed dumplings. You may also serve this over buttered egg noodles, if you choose. If you use fresh mushrooms in this, I recommend peeling off their outer skin first so they do not release so much water.

Steps:
- Lightly dust chicken chunks with some flour- just enough to coat.
- Set a large nonstick stock pot on medium-high heat and add a tsp or two of oil (a little more if your pan is not nonstick)- just enough to prevent sticking.
- Sauté chicken in the pan just to brown lightly on all sides- not to cook all the way through yet.
- Remove from pan using a slotted spoon and set in a covered dish to keep warm.
- Add onions and mushrooms to the pan and sauté until lightly browned, adding another tsp of oil only if needed.
- Add tomato soup (undiluted), then fill the soup can halfway with water and add that water to the pan.
- Stir in sour cream, the bay leaf, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste), and 2 tsp of paprika, either sweet or spicy (in this I prefer the sweet)- your choice.
- Add chicken chunks back to the pan, stir, cover pan, and lower heat and let simmer approximately 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through and is tender (meanwhile, start cooking your dumplings/noodles).
- Check the seasonings, adding a bit more salt, pepper, and/or paprika only if needed.
- Remove bay leaf and serve ladled over freshly cooked dumplings or hot buttered egg noodles in bowls.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH
Spices lose their flavor over time but few as quickly as paprika, which starts out tasting of pepper and sunshine but deteriorates in but a few months to sawdust and bitterness. For this recipe, get some new at the market: sweet or hot Hungarian paprika is best, but the generic article isn't terrible and the smoky Spanish varieties known as pimentón de La Vera would not be out of place either, lending a deep, woodsy aroma reminiscent of cooking over an open fire. It's a dish that pairs beautifully with butter-slicked egg noodles.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400. Season the chicken aggressively with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large, heavy, oven-safe sauté pan or Dutch oven set over high flame, until the butter is foaming. Sear the chicken in batches, skin-side down, until it is golden and crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Then turn the chicken over, and repeat on the other side, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
- Pour off all but a tablespoon or 2 of the accumulated fat in the pot. Return the pot to the stove, over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently with a spoon to scrape off any browned bits of chicken skin, until the onion has softened and gone translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir again, cooking it until it has softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the paprika and the flour, and stir well to combine, then cook until the mixture is fragrant and the taste of the flour has been cooked out, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and broth, whisk until smooth and then nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up. Slide the pan or pot into the oven, and cook until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set a large pot of heavily salted water to boil over high heat. Cook noodles in the water until they are almost completely tender, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles, and toss them in a bowl with the remaining butter, then toss again to coat.
- Place the chicken on top of the noodles, then add the sour cream to the sauce, stir to combine and ladle it over the whole.

Tips:
- To achieve a rich and flavorful paprika sauce, use high-quality Hungarian paprika. Look for a deep red color and a slightly smoky aroma. If you can't find Hungarian paprika, you can substitute sweet paprika, but the flavor will be milder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown, resulting in a less flavorful dish. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Be patient when simmering the sauce. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will become. Aim for at least 30 minutes of simmering time, but you can simmer it for up to an hour if you have the time.
- Serve the chicken paprika with your favorite sides. Some popular options include egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a side salad or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Chicken paprika is a classic Hungarian dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of tender chicken, rich paprika sauce, and creamy sour cream is sure to please everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, chicken paprika is a dish that you'll want to make again and again.
