My mom learned to make this tender chicken dish when she volunteered to help prepare the dinners served at her church. It's my favorite main dish, and the gravy, seasoned with paprika, sour cream and onions, is the best. -Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

Csirke Paprikas is the Hungarian term for this delicious dish. My mom has been making this for 35 years! Recently she went to visit Budapest and found this little cafe that served it. She liked it so well, she modified her recipe to closely match that, and here it is, enjoy! Serve over rice or egg noodles.

Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 slices bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon paprika, or more to taste
½ cup water, or more as needed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cold water
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup water
1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add chicken and tomatoes. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in paprika. Pour in 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup water and season with salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Remove lid and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Mix sour cream and 1 teaspoon cold water together in a small bowl. Add mixture to the pot and stir until gravy is evenly colored and smooth. Return chicken to the pot, cover and simmer on low for another 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir flour and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix egg and water together. Gradually add flour mixture and stir together until dumpling batter is very thick and mixture breaks from a spoon.
  • Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Drop 1/2 teaspoons of dumpling batter into the boiling water. Dumplings will rise to the surface in about 1 minute; boil for 5 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer dumplings to a bowl. Repeat steps until batter is used up and all dumplings are cooked. Mix 1 teaspoon of butter with cooked dumplings. Add dumplings to chicken mixture in the pot and allow to heat through.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH (HUNGARIAN STYLE I THINK)



Chicken Paprikash (Hungarian Style I Think) image

This is how my Grandma and Great Grandma have been making chicken paprikash forever. The recipes here on zaar are all gravies and thats not how we make ours. My Great Grandma was given a cookbook from the Hungarian Women's Auxilary in Detroit and that's where this comes from. I will also post a recipe for how we make kluskies seperately. Note: I never really measure, so with the paprika, you have to do this by taste and look. Oh! this is really easy to halve or cut down because 12 pieces of chicken is a lot, you defineitely don't have to use that many and you get the same result.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 chicken pieces, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken drumsticks
6 chicken thighs (or large breasts with bones in them)
water
2 onions
5 chicken bouillon cubes
1 cup paprika (divided)
3 lbs sour cream
salt
pepper
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Dice the two onions (It doesnt have to be perfect, just so theyre small).
  • Heat a large pot of water and put the 5 bouillon cubes in and let it boil.
  • In a large skillet, heat up about 4 tablespoons veggie oil (or enough to cover the bottom the pan and a touch more).
  • When the oil heats, fry up the onions until slightly translucent with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Put a few pieces of chicken in the frying pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until the outside turns golden (DO NOT COOK THROUGH) and put in the boiling water, repeat with the other chickens.
  • Add more paprika to the water until its an orangish color.
  • Cook chicken for about 45 minutes in the water. But do not drain this chicken broth/ stock.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, put almost all of the sour cream in a large pot. Take a soup dipper and slowly temper the chicken broth into the sour cream (If it curdles, it curdles, but it still tastes the same :)) Do this until the sauce has an almost watery/floury like consistency (it should be kinda thin) If it is too thin, add the rest of the sour cream.
  • Next, add enough paprika until the sauce turns a nice reddish white (the paprika sometimes doesnt blend very well) also add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Now you can save the chicken stock or throw it away, its up to you but it needs to be taken away from the chicken. Put the sauce over the chicken and serve with kluskies and you have a delicious, filling Hungarian dinner!

CHICKEN PAPRIKAS -- HUNGARIAN OLD STYLE



Chicken Paprikas -- Hungarian old style image

If you are looking for a healthy, low-calorie dish, then by all means keep browsing, 'cause this ain't it! However, if you want to indulge in authentic Hungarian fare that tastes simply delicious, I don't know that you can do better than chicken paprikas. My mom's side was Hungarian, & I am so glad so that it introduced me to...

Provided by Michelle Koletar/Mertz

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lb chicken parts, bone in, skin on. (i use one large breast & thighs/legs)
2 onions, chopped
4 Tbsp shortening or oil (i always use crisco shortening)
3-4 Tbsp hungarian paprika (i use sweet)
1 & 1/2 c water (or 1 cup water & .5 white wine)
black pepper, salt
8 oz sour cream
12 oz bag of noodles or make homemade dumplings
8 oz optional --fresh mushrooms

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the shortening over medium in a large fry pan or skillet. (I use an electric skillet).
  • 2. Add the chopped onion & brown. Then add chicken parts, patted dry, with salt & pepper on them. Cook skin side down about 5-7 minutes, until getting golden, then turn over & brown for another 5 mins. Sprinkle with fresh black pepper or add peppercorns & some salt. Updated NOTE: I am told that adding the paprika when you are browning the onions gives it more flavor. I did this today when I made it (8/4/13) and it came out beautifully. I added the paprika with the onions, some more w/ the chicken, and then recipe is the same.
  • 3. Turn chicken back to skin side down (I use tongs so it doesn't splash) & then add water & 2-3 TBS Hungarian paprika. (NOTE: I use 1 cup of water & 1/2 cup of white wine. This is not the authentic Hungarian way, but I think it adds wonderful flavor.) I also add mushrooms b/c I love them, but this is my own taste.
  • 4. Simmer on low-med for about 1.5 - 2 hours. Turn chicken over occasionally. The most difficult part of this dish is how great it smells as you have to wait for it to be done! You can add a little bit more water and/or wine, if you like.
  • 5. When chicken is nice & tender, remove and let cool off a bit (I cool it in a large Dutch oven). When you're able to touch it without scalding your fingers, remove the meat from the bones & skin. (You don't have to do this, you can serve the chicken pieces whole, I just like it better this way). Leave any juice that came off from the chicken in the Dutch Oven.
  • 6. Meanwhile, add 8 oz (half container) of sour cream to the onion & drippings in the fry pan & mix well. I add at least 1 more TBS paprika. Keep heat on low & do not let it boil! Add the chicken back in. I like fresh parsley to be added at this point, too.
  • 7. I then cook egg noodles, using the same Dutch Oven, that may have some of the chicken juice in it. Either serve w/ individual platters of noodles & then the chicken poured on top. Or... I cook the noodles about 3 minutes less than package calls for & then I pour the chicken mixture over top about half of the noodles, mix, add more noodles, more chicken, stir, etc. until it's the consistency I want. I don't always use the whole package of noodles. I just like the noodles & chicken all mixed together, but most people like it poured over top instead. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Enjoy!

AMAZING HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH DUMPLINGS



Amazing Hungarian Chicken Paprikash With Dumplings image

This recipe has been passed down in my Hungarian family for generations and perfected. I now use boneless chicken despite bone-in being the tradition. I think it makes it a little more friendly without losing any taste.

Provided by Danny P

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 -2 tablespoon oil
4 tablespoons paprika (Hungarian sweet is preferrable, yes, you can taste the difference. Substitute 1 tbsp with half-sharp)
3 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
32 ounces chicken broth
10 ounces sour cream
2 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup flour
6 eggs
4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water on to boil for the dumplings.
  • De-fat, and tenderize chicken. Cut into bite-sized pieces. With oil, brown chicken in a large pan on medium-high heat (6-10 min).
  • Add paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth to the chicken in the pan. Stir them to mix. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer and put a lid on and let simmer for 25 minute.
  • In a container with a lid (tupperware is good) mix water, flour and sour cream for the chicken. Shaking the mixture aggressively is the best way to ensure a smooth mix. Set aside mixture for later.
  • While chicken is simmering, mix all ingredients - eggs, flour, water, and salt - for the dumplings together in a mixing bowl. It should be a pretty thick, dry mix when you are done. If it's too gooey, add small amounts of flour until it is more dry.
  • With water boiling, turn down the heat to low. Tip the mixing bowl until the dumpling dough rests at the edge. Using a dull knife (butter knife), slice the dough from the lip of the bowl into small blobs and into the pot. Continue this process until all of the dough has been used. This process takes about 3-5 minute Dipping the knife occasionally into the boiling water will prevent dough from sticking to it.
  • Raise heat and boil dumplings for another 5-6 min or so.
  • Meanwhile, the chicken should be about done simmering. Using a spoon, draw some of the chicken sauce and put it into the sour cream/flour/water mixture that you had set aside. This is important to prevent sour cream from curdling. Put the lid on and shake the mixture once more. There should be no flour or sour cream chunks in the mixture.
  • Finally, stir the mixture into the chicken pan. Mix until consistent. Bring the sauce to a boil stirring occasionally for sauce to thicken.
  • Drain the water from the dumplings.
  • Usually, chicken and sauce are served on top of the dumplings.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make sure there is enough space for the chicken and sauce.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of chicken broth and white wine in the sauce.
  • Be sure to brown the chicken well before adding the sauce. This will help develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Simmer the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken paprikash with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Chicken paprikash is a classic Hungarian dish that is both flavorful and hearty. It is made with chicken, paprika, and a creamy sauce. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
