Description
A delicious and creamy chicken paprikash served with pasta or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp oil (I use sunflower oil)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion (peeled and diced)
- 3 chicken breasts (approx. 525g/1, chopped into bite-size chunks)
- 2 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Hungarian sweet or spiced paprika (I use sweet)
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- 400 g (14 oz) tin chopped tomatoes in juice
- 480 ml (2 cups) hot chicken stock
- 225 ml (1 cup) sour cream
- Cooked pasta (such as pappardelle, tagliatelle or penne)
- Handful of chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oil and butter in a large pan (on that has a lid), over a medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion, and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Toss the chicken breast pieces together with the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Add to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, turning the chicken a few times, until lightly browned all over.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add in the paprika and minced cloves of garlic. Stir together for a minute to coat the chicken.
- Add the tin of chopped tomatoes and the stock and bring to the boil.
- Place a lid on the pan and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid, give everything a stir and simmer for a further 10 minutes, with the lid off, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Turn off the heat and stir through half of the sour cream.
- Serve the chicken paprikash with pasta (it also tastes great with mashed potato!), topped with the rest of the sour cream and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Oh and don’t forget a hunk of bread on the side.
Notes
- This dish can also be served with mashed potatoes for a different twist.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of paprika to your spice preference.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
