Sour cream and sweet paprika with chicken. Very tasty. **Use skinless, boneless chicken to make this recipe quick and easy. Use light or fat free sour cream to make it Healthy. I found this reciped in a 1986 cookbook named "365 ways to cook Chicken." (They had a series of cookbooks and I have several of them, great books but no pictures.)

How To Make chicken paprika

  • 1
    Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken lightly on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • 2
    Add onion to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, and continue cooking a few more minutes, stirring often, until onions begin to brown. Do not burn garlic, it gets bitter.
  • 3
    Add tomatoes and paprika. Return chicken to pan. Cover tightly and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until tender.
  • 4
    Remove chicken to a serving platter. *(At this point, I skinned and deboned the chicken, then arranged the meat on a platter.) Stir sour cream into tomato mixture. Heat until warm, do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over chicken.
  • 5
    Serve with noodles or, for a real treat, homemade spaetzle.
