Dutch Oven Polish Chicken Paprikasz image

Just like mama made it! Almost; mama didn't add sour cream. I grew up on this; it is one of my most favorite dishes. The smell immediately brings me back to my mama's kitchen; when I walked in through the door, I knew it was paprikasz for dinner.

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Italian dressing or marinade, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Oregano, to taste
Basil, to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 medium red onion, sliced
Butter
1 package sliced mushrooms
4 large portobello mushroom caps
Olive oil
Cajun seasoning
4 strips bacon
Garden vegetable cream cheese
Sliced mozzarella cheese
Shredded Monterey Jack
Cooked dirty rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine Italian dressing, garlic powder, oregano, and basil into a plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts and mix well. Marinate in refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat grill over medium heat.
  • Make foil pouches of sliced red onion with butter and another pouch of sliced mushrooms with butter. Place onto hot grill and cook until tender. Drizzle portobello caps with olive oil and place on hot grill to soften. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Grill chicken breasts until cooked throughout, sprinkling with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder, set to side of grill to keep warm. At same time, grill 4 strips of bacon.
  • Spread the cooked portobellos with a thick layer of cream cheese. Place 1 cooked chicken breast onto each, spoon on some of the sliced mushrooms, and finally some of the sliced onions. Place a strip of bacon onto that, and then cover with sliced mozzarella and shredded Monterey Jack cheese, put back on grill to melt cheese, and serve with a side of dirty rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken or duck, organic vegetables, and flavorful herbs and spices will make all the difference in the taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning chicken or duck, make sure to give the pieces enough space so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the pieces will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the poultry thoroughly: Poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) to ensure that it is safe to eat. If you are unsure whether the poultry is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  • Let the poultry rest before carving: After cooking, let the poultry rest for a few minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Polish poultry dishes are often served with traditional Polish sides such as sauerkraut, dumplings, or potatoes. However, you can also serve them with your own favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Polish poultry dishes are a delicious and versatile addition to any menu. With their rich flavors and variety of cooking methods, there is sure to be a Polish poultry dish that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, you are sure to find a Polish poultry recipe that fits the bill.
