My father would make this when I was a child. When I make it now, it reminds me of home. It is a milk, rich and creamy recipe. My family's all time favorite! A one-skillet dish. Serve over hot cooked egg noodles or rice, if desired.

CHICKEN IN SOUR CREAM PAPRIKA SAUCE



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.

Chicken Paprika in Sour Cream Gravy in an Instant Pot Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter (I use ghee)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 small onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon chicken base (I use "Better than Bullion") mixed into 1 cup water
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Additional paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add butter to Instant Pot, turn to saute' until hot. Mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika on a plate. Dip chicken breasts in seasoned flour, coating well. Add chicken to cooker, lightly browning on both sides. Using tongs, remove chicken from pot. Add onion and cook/stir until translucent; add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return chicken to pot and pour chicken broth to cover. Lock lid, set to high, and cook 8 minutes. Let pressure release naturally 10 minutes before quick releasing remaining pressure and safely removing the lid. Use tongs to set aside chicken breasts. Make sauce by using saute' setting on high with the lid off, and wait until cooking liquid is simmering. Thoroughly combine sour cream and cornstarch, then slowly stir into simmering liquid until fully integrated and sauce is creamy and thick. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour some sauce over chicken and serve topped with parsley and a pinch of paprika. Excellent over rice. This is from Bob Warden's "Slow Food Fast" book.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Good Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good quality sour cream.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they are cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • Use a Dutch Oven or Large Skillet: A Dutch oven or large skillet will allow you to cook the chicken and vegetables all in one pot, making cleanup easier.
  • Simmer the Sauce: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes will help to develop its flavor and thicken it slightly.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Sour cream chicken paprika is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sour cream chicken paprika is a classic dish that is easy to make and full of flavor. It is a great weeknight meal that can be served with a variety of sides. By following these tips, you can make sure that your sour cream chicken paprika turns out perfectly every time.
