Chicken Paprika

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts (bone in is better)
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 4-5 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/3-1/2 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. 1

   Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 - 2 Tbsp of the paprika.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a large pot, sear the chicken breasts on one side, flip the chicken and add the onion and garlic.

3. 3

   Let the onions sauté slightly, sprinkle with the rest of the paprika, and some more salt and pepper and cover with water.

4. 4

   Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is very tender (it can simmer up to a few hours, just add more water if it evaporates).

5. 5

   Right before you are ready to serve, remove the chicken from the liquid and keep warm.

6. 6

   To make the sauce, combine the sour cream and flour whisk until smooth. Once smooth, add some of the cooking liquid and whisk until there are no more lumps.

7. 7

   Pour the mixture back into the cooking liquid, and boil until it thickens (if it doesn't thicken enough, repeat the flour/sour cream/cooking liquid mixture until it has the consistency of thick gravy).

8. 8

   Remove bones from chicken breasts and cut into pieces and return to sauce.

9. 9

   Serve it piping hot over egg noodles or rice.
