Chicken Paprikash
Ingredients
4 chicken thighs
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
3 Tablespoons salted butter
1 large onion
1 Tablespoon crushed minced garlic
3 Tablespoons Hungarian paprika
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup sour cream
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Method
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Dice onion.
Add the oil and butter in a large skillet or frying pan and melt on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown on both sides for 6 to 7 minutes when the butter is foaming. Remove the item from the pan onto a separate plate and set it aside.
Add the diced onions in the same pan on medium heat and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and continue cooking until it is tender. Add the paprika and flour, stirring to cook the roux for about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and the tomatoes and whisk until smooth. Add the chicken, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the sour cream to the sauce and whisk until smooth. Serve with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
