Ingredients
Here’s the list of ingredients you’ll need to make Chicken Paprikash:
– 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup sour cream
– 2 tablespoons flour
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your own delicious Chicken Paprikash effortlessly:
1. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet. Sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
3. Incorporate Paprika: Stir in the paprika, ensuring the onions and garlic are well coated. This step is crucial as it develops the base flavor for the sauce.
4. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to enhance the flavor. Bring this mixture to a simmer.
5. Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
6. Prepare the Cream Sauce: In a bowl, mix sour cream and flour together until smooth. Take a ladle of the hot broth from the skillet and gradually whisk it into the sour cream mixture to temper it.
7. Combine Sauce and Chicken: Once combined, pour the tempering mixture back into the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
