Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons pork lard (, or butter (lard is traditionally used and we strongly recommend it for the best flavor))
3 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in and skin-on
2 medium yellow onions, very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeds removed and very finely diced
1 Hungarian bell pepper, diced ((optional) )
3-4 tablespoons quality, genuine imported sweet Hungarian paprika
2 cups Aneto 100% All-Natural Chicken Broth ((our most favorite chicken broth))
or Aneto low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup full fat sour cream (, room temperature (important to avoid lumps; be sure also to use full fat))
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat the lard in a heavy pot and brown the chicken on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate. In the same oil, add the onions and fry until golden brown. Add the garlic and tomatoes (and pepper if using) and fry another 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the paprika, salt and pepper (paprika becomes bitter if scorched).
  • Return the chicken to the pot and place it back over the heat. Pour in the chicken broth. The chicken should be mostly covered. Bring it to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
  • In a small bowl, stir the flour into the sour cream/cream mixture to form a smooth paste. Stir the cream mixture into the sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring it to a simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce is thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the sauce and simmer to heat through.
  • Serve the chicken paprikash with Hungarian nokedli, which is like German Spaetzle only they're very short and stubby. You can make nokedli with a spätzle scraper and using this recipe for the dough.
