Chicken Paprika is a classic American dish that combines tender chicken with a rich and flavorful paprika sauce. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is cooked until it's juicy and tender, and the paprika sauce adds a pleasant smoky flavor with a hint of spiciness. Serve it with a side of rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until it is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir to combine it with the onions and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for about 20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. Increase the heat to medium-low and whisk in the sour cream. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the paprika sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
- Serve the Chicken Paprika hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy it with rice or mashed potatoes.
