EASY CHICKEN PAPRIKASH



Easy Chicken Paprikash image

I loved Chicken Paprikash, but hated the bones! So changed a few things in the recipe to make it easier to make and enjoy. This tastes even better as leftovers after the flavors have more time to blend, just don't forget to add with the Sour Cream and a little dried dill. (Fresh Dill if you have it)

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup yellow onion, red, yellow, and orange Bell Pepper, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon paprika
6 ounces wide egg noodles, wheat, cooked
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons dried dill (or fresh )

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and peppers and pan roast. I like a little char on the edges, and remove from pan when the skins start to pull away from the peppers.
  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the same pot used for the peppers and onion until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pot.
  • Add the onions, bell pepper back to the pan and add garlic, cooking until the garlic is tender.
  • Add stewed tomatoes, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and bring to a boil.
  • Return chicken to the pot in the vegetable mixture and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • To serve: in 4 bowls, divide the noodles into equal servings, top with chicken and sauce, top with sour cream and a sprinkling of dill.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken paprikash. Look for chicken breasts or thighs that are free-range and organic, and use fresh vegetables whenever possible.
  • Brown the chicken before cooking: Browning the chicken adds flavor and helps to seal in the juices. You can brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat, or in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat.
  • Use a good quality paprika: Paprika is the key ingredient in chicken paprikash, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a paprika that is bright red in color and has a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken paprikash is a relatively quick and easy dish to make, so it's important to not overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve with egg noodles or mashed potatoes: Chicken paprikash is traditionally served with egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Both of these side dishes are great at soaking up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken paprikash is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
