Best Chicken Paprika Paprikás Csirke Recipes

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Gradually stir in 2 1/2 cups of flour to make a stiff batter. Using two spoons, scoop out some batter with one spoon and use the second to scrap off the spoonful of batter into the boiling water. Repeat until several dumplings are cooking. Cook dumplings for 10 minutes or until they float to the top; then lift from the water and drain in a colander or sieve. Rinse with warm water.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and add chicken; cook until lightly browned, turning once. Add onion to skillet and cook 5 to 8 minutes more. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of water, and season with paprika, salt, and pepper; cook 10 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into sour cream; then slowly stir into the onion mixture remaining in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened.
• To serve, add dumplings to the sour cream/onion mixture, then spoon onto dinner plates adding a piece of chicken.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA (CSIRKE PAPRIKASH)

Steps:

• Melt 1 tbsp margarine in a large skillet. Cook mushrooms over medium heat until medium tender. Drain moisture from skillet. Melt another 3 tbsp margarine in the skillet, adding sliced onions and garlic. Cook until onions are tender. Stir in the vinegar and paprika.
• Meanwhile, mix flour and next 3 ingredients. Dredge the chicken breasts through the flour mixture. Place in the skillet with the vegetables, pushing them up against the side so the chicken will brown. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add water and chicken bouillon granules. Heat to a boil, then reduce to low and cover for 1 hour.
• Prepare the egg noodles according to the directions. Add 2 tbsp margarine and parsley/cilantro to taste.
• While the noodles are finishing up, remove the chicken from the heat. Add the sour cream. Add salt and pepper as needed.
• I prefer to cut my chicken up into bite size pieces and mix with the noodles. Another option is to serve the chicken on top of the noodles, topped with the sauce. It is just easier for kids and the "knife-challenged" to eat it if it is already cut up!

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Season the chicken aggressively with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large, heavy, oven-safe sauté pan or Dutch oven set over high flame, until the butter is foaming. Sear the chicken in batches, skin-side down, until it is golden and crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Then turn the chicken over, and repeat on the other side, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
• Pour off all but a tablespoon or 2 of the accumulated fat in the pot. Return the pot to the stove, over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently with a spoon to scrape off any browned bits of chicken skin, until the onion has softened and gone translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir again, cooking it until it has softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the paprika and the flour, and stir well to combine, then cook until the mixture is fragrant and the taste of the flour has been cooked out, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and broth, whisk until smooth and then nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up. Slide the pan or pot into the oven, and cook until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a large pot of heavily salted water to boil over high heat. Cook noodles in the water until they are almost completely tender, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles, and toss them in a bowl with the remaining butter, then toss again to coat.
• Place the chicken on top of the noodles, then add the sour cream to the sauce, stir to combine and ladle it over the whole.
