Chicken Paprikash Recipe
Cook chicken – You’ll need to pan fry chicken thighs before adding to the sauce. To do this, simply season the thighs generously with salt and pepper, and then pan fry until brown and cooked through. Set aside and make the paprika sauce. The sauce – The key ingredient in this recipe is Hungarian paprika, however, if it’s not available sub with regular paprika. To make the sauce, start with sautéing onions, garlic and bell peppers or capsicum. I prefer to use red peppers in this recipe to match the color of the sauce. Once the onions are soft, turn down the heat to very low, add paprika, tomato paste and cayenne pepper. Add chicken broth and simmer for a few minutes. At this stage, you can add chicken and sour cream. Simmer this mixture for about 2 minutes. Chopped parsley makes for a lovely addition to this dish.

Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor. But remember the cooking times may vary. How do you store and reheat leftovers? - Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat over stovetop with the heating on low, so sour cream doesn’t separate. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little chicken broth (stock) to achieve the required consistency.
