MOM’S AUTHENTIC HUNGARIAN STYLE CHICKEN PAPRIKASH
This is my mom’s family’s recipe. It is so simple and quick to make and almost fool
proof. The taste is divine. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have throughout
the generations.
Half stick butter
Paprika powder (found in any spice section of any grocery store).
1 large red chopped onion
8-10 thawed and rinsed chicken thighs or breasts (thighs or drum sticks taste much better with this recipe)
Salt & black pepper
1 pint sour cream
In a 6-qt. pot with a lid, place one half-stick butter.
Turn on the burner on low heat.
When the butter has melted (don’t burn) add about one good measured heaping
tablespoon of paprika (found on all spice shelves in stores). Stir this around and cook for
about 1 minute.
Then place chopped onions in pot and mix all together. Cook this about
four minutes.
Mmmm, the smell!
Now simply dump about 8-10 thawed and rinsed
chicken thighs or breasts in the pot.
Stir it all up making sure that the chicken gets all
covered with the sauce in the pot.
Add about a quarter teaspoon salt and pepper. Stir it
all up again well.
Cover.
Let simmer on low heat for about an hour (or until chicken is
cooked tender) stirring once or twice during the cooking process.
Always make sure the
lid is on when not stirring.
After an hour (or when chicken is done), dump in a pint tub of
sour cream. Cover and let sour cream sit as a blob for about four minutes. Then stir
everything up well.
Cover and cook for another five minutes. Turn off heat and EAT!
Heavenly!
Serve over cooked rice, noodles, or green beans if you wish.
