CHICKEN PAPRIKASH



Chicken paprikash image

This Hungarian dish is usually made with a decadent heavy cream sauce, but our trimmed-down version still has rich, hearty flavor-without the fat and calories of the classic. For the best results, make sure the sour cream is at room temperature before you stir it into pan. This will ensure it blends in well with the other hot ingredients to create a silky, creamy sauce. We also recommend using a good-quality Hungarian paprika for superior flavor, but in a pinch, you could use the regular or smoked variety. You won't typically find mushrooms in traditional paprikash but here their umami flavor adds delicious depth.

Time 36m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

20 oz Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s) 4 (5-ounce)
0.5 tsp Table salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
2 tsp Canola oil
1 large Uncooked red onion(s) chopped
1 medium Green pepper(s) seeded and chopped
2 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tbsp All-purpose flour
2 cup(s) Reduced-sodium chicken broth
0.5 pound(s) Fresh mushroom(s) fresh, sliced
2 Tbsp Light sour cream
1 Tbsp Dill fresh, chopped
4 cup(s) Cooked egg noodles hot, broad

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the same skillet, then add the onion and bell pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until very tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add the paprika and flour; cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Gradually add the broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens slightly. Add the mushrooms and simmer 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the sour cream and dill into the skillet; bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from the heat. Serve with the noodles. Yields 1 chicken breast with 1⁄2 cup sauce and 1 cup noodles per serving.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

So very easy and tastes great! Found this in Cooking Light magazine. Note: you can also add 1-8oz package of pre-sliced mushrooms, we just don't care for them and so took it out the recipe. Chicken comes out so soft it just falls apart, although the sauce may need to be thickened slightly. I serve with white rice, basmatti rice, or couscous. Also it freezes well if you would like to enjoy your leftovers at a later date. Enjoy!
