Chicken in Sour Cream Paprika Sauce image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
flour, as needed for dusting chicken
2 -3 teaspoons canola oil, as needed
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained or 6 -8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced, stemmed, and peeled
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed tomato soup (reduced fat is OK)
0.5 (10 3/4 ounce) can cold water (use soup can)
1 cup sour cream (light or regular but NOT fat free)
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika, to taste (or spicy)
freshly cooked egg noodles or steamed bread dumplings

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.
