Instructions
Creating Easy Creamy Chicken Paprikash is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve a delicious meal:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Brown the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 4-5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add Paprika and Seasonings: Sprinkle the sweet and smoked paprika over the onions and garlic, stirring well. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Deglaze with Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
6. Return Chicken to the Skillet: Add the browned chicken thighs back into the skillet. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Gradually add a few spoonfuls of the hot broth from the skillet to temper the sour cream mixture.
8. Combine Mixtures: Stir the tempered sour cream mixture into the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
