Chicken Paprikash with Mushrooms
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of sweet paprika
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- Cooked egg noodles or rice for serving
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the onion and mushroom mixture, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the browned chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Stir in 1 cup of sour cream and heat through, but do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the chicken paprikash over cooked egg noodles or rice, and enjoy!
