Chicken paprikash experiment 2
This is a minor variation of the "chicken paprika" recipe from "The Joy of Cooking."
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1.5 tbsp butter
- 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onions
- 2 tbsp Szeged paprika
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 2 tsp flour
- 1 cup sour cream
Method
Cut chicken into largeish chunks. Heat butter and oil in pan. Add onions and paprika, fry till glossy and red. Add chicken and broth. Simmer covered for 30 minutes. Simmer uncovered till liquid reduces a bit. Add flour to sourcream. Add sourcream to pan a bit at a time and stir it in. Don't bring to a boil, but let the sauce thicken.
2020-03-28: This was my first attempt. I'm pretty pleased with it. Definitely a repeater.
The original recipe called for a 2.5 pound fryer, but I just used chicken breasts. I wanted thighs, but the store was out of them thanks to the coronavirus lockdown. If find myself wondering whether it would be better just to simmer it uncovered. I'll try that next time.
