Chicken Paprikash
Making this Hungarian Paprikash Recipe was such a hit. It's a traditional Hungarian dish rich with Hungarian sweet paprika and creamy goodness and is perfect for family dinners or special gatherings. I loved serving it with egg noodles that soaked in the creamy paprika sauce.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 2-3 tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp salt adjusted to taste
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper adjusted to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, skin side down if using skin-on pieces. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell peppers and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
- Stir in the Hungarian sweet paprika and smoked paprika into the onion and pepper mixture. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the paprika from burning.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine with the vegetables and paprika.
- Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for about 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Cooking time will vary if your chicken pieces are smaller.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth and add to the chicken. Cook the sauce over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chicken paprikash over mashed potatoes, noodles, etc. Garnish with chopped parsley.
