Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving
Instructions
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken thighs, skin-side down, until golden, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and sliced red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir well to coat vegetables in spices.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream with flour until smooth. Gradually stir sour cream mixture into the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring gently, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve Chicken Paprikash hot over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
