Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 large onion (finely chopped)
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions
Creating Classic Hungarian Chicken Paprikash with Creamy Sauce is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the onion and garlic.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and brown the other side for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Cook Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add Paprika and Seasonings: Stir in the sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional minute. This step is crucial as it allows the paprika to release its flavors.
5. Simmer with Broth: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender.
6. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and flour until smooth. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot broth from the skillet to temper the sour cream mixture. Then stir the tempered mixture back into the skillet.
7. Finish Cooking: Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring gently. Adjust seasoning if necessary, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Following these steps will lead you to a delicious and authentic Hungarian Chicken Paprikash that everyone will love.
