Paprika Gravy Recipes

PAPRIKA CHICKEN WITH SOUR CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 F. Lightly oil a large baking dish and set it aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan.
• Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Brown the chicken breasts in the hot oil.
• Spread the sliced onions across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the chicken on top of the onions and sprinkle the breasts evenly with the paprika.
• Pour the broth over the chicken.
• Bake it for 45 to 55 minutes or until the chicken breasts register at least 165 F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
• Skim the fat from the juices remaining in the baking dish, then strain the liquid or put it through a gravy separator.
• Put the strained juices in a saucepan (or use the baking dish if it is safe for the stovetop). Bring the liquids to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavors.
• Whisk in the sour cream and flour mixture and heat, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened. Do not let it boil.
• Serve the gravy with the chicken. If you prefer skinless meat, simply pull the skin off and discard it before you top the breast with gravy.
