Dinner, Chicken, Sour Cream: Csirke Paprikas (Paprika Chicken)

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion diced
  • Chicken (any kinds of pieces will work, bone pieces give more flavor, but boneless works too)
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Paprika
  • 2-3 tomatoes diced
  • 2-3 different peppers diced (include spicy varieties if you want some spice to the dish)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Sour Cream
Preparation:
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and add the diced onion to it.
  • Saute the onion until it is soft and nearly carmelized
  • Add the paprika to the onions and cook for about a minute. This is to let the paprika release it's flavors.
  • Add the chicken to the onions and paprika and stir to coat with the mixture.
  • Next, add enough water to cover the chicken. Cover and simmer on medium heat for 35 minutes.
  • Next, add the chopped peppers and tomatoes and let simmer covered for another 15 or 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add enough salt to taste.
  • The next step is to add the sour cream. Typically I add about 1 cup of sour cream for about a serving for 5-6 people. To make sure the sour cream does not curdle, you should put it in a bowl and slowly add a few tablespoons of the sauce from the chicken. Continue doing this until you've added enough sauce to raise the temperature of the sour cream mixture.
  • Once the sour cream has been tempered, you can add it to the chicken. Stir and let simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes.
Serving:
  • Serve over rice, pasta, or dumplings (Nokodli)
