Chicken Paprikash is a classic Hungarian dish known for its rich and flavorful sauce made with paprika.

This comforting and hearty dish features tender chicken simmered in a creamy sauce, infused with the warm and aromatic flavors of paprika and onions.

It is traditionally served over egg noodles or rice, making it a satisfying meal for any time of the year. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are lightly browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the sweet paprika evenly over the chicken and onions, stirring well to coat the chicken and release the flavors of the paprika.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through.
  6. Serve the chicken paprikash over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of freshness.

Notes

Use high-quality sweet paprika if possible for the best flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little more chicken broth or water.

Serve the chicken paprikash with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance out the richness of the dish. Enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious recipe!
