Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken thighs
  • 1.5 tbsp sweet paprika preferably Hungarian
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the sweet paprika and flour, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer.
  • Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and cook for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot over egg noodles or rice.

Notes

For best results, use fresh Hungarian paprika and freshly ground black pepper. Leftovers store well for 2 days refrigerated.
