AUTHENTIC HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion until translucent.
• Add the green pepper, cook for 5 minutes or so, and add the mushrooms.
• Cook until the mushrooms are just softened.
• Add the paprika, caraway, pepper and salt (if you are not using salty stock, such as bullion cubes.)
• Stir and add the chicken thighs and mix.
• Add the tomatoes and enough stock to mostly cover the chicken.
• Cover and simmer slowly for approximately 45 minutes.
• The chicken should be falling off the bone, very tender.
• Remove the chicken to a deep serving plate that has been warmed.
• Reduce the stock a bit if it looks like it will be too much sauce.
• Mix some stock fully into the sour cream to thin it a bit, and then mix the sour cream into the rest of the stock.
• Heat until hot, but Do Not Boil.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve over buttered egg noodles.
• Miscellaneous Notes:.
• Use 8 thighs if very large. "Bone in" is great.
• Canned tomatoes are fine, as are bouillon cubes for the stock (in which case, don't add salt until the end, after you taste) and low-fat sour cream.
• The prep time includes chopping and sauteing the veggies, and making the sauce at the end.

CREAMY PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into bite-size cubes and place in a medium bowl. Drizzle over a few tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, a teaspoon of paprika and half the oregano, thyme and chilli flakes. Mix to combine.
• Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches and cook until seared on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, heat a tablespoon of oil then add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the remaining paprika, oregano, thyme and chilli flakes.
• Pour in the white wine and stock to deglaze the pan. Allow to simmer and reduce for a few minutes then stir in the sour cream, salt, pepper and pinch of sugar.
• Add the chicken back to the pan along with any of its resting juices and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
• Scatter over fresh parsley and serve with crusty bread or steamed rice.
