Instructions:
- Prepare the base:
- Heat oil/butter in a large pot.
- Sauté onions until soft and golden (8–10 min).
- Add garlic, stir briefly.
- Add paprika:
- Remove pot from heat (important so paprika doesn’t burn).
- Stir in paprika until onions are coated.
- Cook chicken:
- Return pot to medium heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt & pepper. Brown lightly on all sides.
- Build the sauce:
- Add peppers and tomatoes. Stir.
- Pour in chicken broth. Cover and simmer 35–40 minutes, until chicken is tender.
- Finish with sour cream:
- In a small bowl, whisk sour cream with flour (to prevent curdling).
- Stir a few spoonfuls of hot sauce into sour cream mixture, then gently stir back into pot.
- Simmer on low for 2–3 minutes (don’t boil).
- Serve hot:
- Spoon over nokedli, noodles, or rice. Garnish with parsley + a dollop of sour cream.
✨ Tips:
- Use authentic Hungarian paprika for the best flavor (sweet, smoky, and rich).
- Bone-in chicken gives the sauce more depth.
- If you love creamy sauce, add a splash of heavy cream with the sour cream.
