My mom learned to make this tender chicken dish when she volunteered to help prepare the dinners served at her church. It's my favorite main dish, and the gravy, seasoned with paprika, sour cream and onions, is the best. -Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

Csirke Paprikas is the Hungarian term for this delicious dish. My mom has been making this for 35 years! Recently she went to visit Budapest and found this little cafe that served it. She liked it so well, she modified her recipe to closely match that, and here it is, enjoy! Serve over rice or egg noodles.

Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 slices bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon paprika, or more to taste
½ cup water, or more as needed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cold water
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup water
1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add chicken and tomatoes. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in paprika. Pour in 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup water and season with salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Remove lid and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Mix sour cream and 1 teaspoon cold water together in a small bowl. Add mixture to the pot and stir until gravy is evenly colored and smooth. Return chicken to the pot, cover and simmer on low for another 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir flour and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix egg and water together. Gradually add flour mixture and stir together until dumpling batter is very thick and mixture breaks from a spoon.
  • Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Drop 1/2 teaspoons of dumpling batter into the boiling water. Dumplings will rise to the surface in about 1 minute; boil for 5 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer dumplings to a bowl. Repeat steps until batter is used up and all dumplings are cooked. Mix 1 teaspoon of butter with cooked dumplings. Add dumplings to chicken mixture in the pot and allow to heat through.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH (HUNGARIAN STYLE I THINK)



Chicken Paprikash (Hungarian Style I Think) image

This is how my Grandma and Great Grandma have been making chicken paprikash forever. The recipes here on zaar are all gravies and thats not how we make ours. My Great Grandma was given a cookbook from the Hungarian Women's Auxilary in Detroit and that's where this comes from. I will also post a recipe for how we make kluskies seperately. Note: I never really measure, so with the paprika, you have to do this by taste and look. Oh! this is really easy to halve or cut down because 12 pieces of chicken is a lot, you defineitely don't have to use that many and you get the same result.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 chicken pieces, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken drumsticks
6 chicken thighs (or large breasts with bones in them)
water
2 onions
5 chicken bouillon cubes
1 cup paprika (divided)
3 lbs sour cream
salt
pepper
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Dice the two onions (It doesnt have to be perfect, just so theyre small).
  • Heat a large pot of water and put the 5 bouillon cubes in and let it boil.
  • In a large skillet, heat up about 4 tablespoons veggie oil (or enough to cover the bottom the pan and a touch more).
  • When the oil heats, fry up the onions until slightly translucent with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Put a few pieces of chicken in the frying pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until the outside turns golden (DO NOT COOK THROUGH) and put in the boiling water, repeat with the other chickens.
  • Add more paprika to the water until its an orangish color.
  • Cook chicken for about 45 minutes in the water. But do not drain this chicken broth/ stock.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, put almost all of the sour cream in a large pot. Take a soup dipper and slowly temper the chicken broth into the sour cream (If it curdles, it curdles, but it still tastes the same :)) Do this until the sauce has an almost watery/floury like consistency (it should be kinda thin) If it is too thin, add the rest of the sour cream.
  • Next, add enough paprika until the sauce turns a nice reddish white (the paprika sometimes doesnt blend very well) also add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Now you can save the chicken stock or throw it away, its up to you but it needs to be taken away from the chicken. Put the sauce over the chicken and serve with kluskies and you have a delicious, filling Hungarian dinner!

AUTHENTIC HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH



Authentic Hungarian Chicken Paprikash image

I came up with this one night after being inspired by a bunch of other recipes, and it was so delicious that I had to write it down and share it. It was also pretty easy. Serve this over buttered noodles.

Provided by Dories Lori

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h15m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons oil
1 big onion, diced (huge)
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground caraway
salt
black pepper
10 skinless chicken thighs, fat traces removed
4 plum tomatoes, diced
2 cups chicken stock, approx
3/4-1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion until translucent.
  • Add the green pepper, cook for 5 minutes or so, and add the mushrooms.
  • Cook until the mushrooms are just softened.
  • Add the paprika, caraway, pepper and salt (if you are not using salty stock, such as bullion cubes.)
  • Stir and add the chicken thighs and mix.
  • Add the tomatoes and enough stock to mostly cover the chicken.
  • Cover and simmer slowly for approximately 45 minutes.
  • The chicken should be falling off the bone, very tender.
  • Remove the chicken to a deep serving plate that has been warmed.
  • Reduce the stock a bit if it looks like it will be too much sauce.
  • Mix some stock fully into the sour cream to thin it a bit, and then mix the sour cream into the rest of the stock.
  • Heat until hot, but Do Not Boil.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve over buttered egg noodles.
  • Miscellaneous Notes:.
  • Use 8 thighs if very large. "Bone in" is great.
  • Canned tomatoes are fine, as are bouillon cubes for the stock (in which case, don't add salt until the end, after you taste) and low-fat sour cream.
  • The prep time includes chopping and sauteing the veggies, and making the sauce at the end.

CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN PAPRIKASH



Chef John's Chicken Paprikash image

After many, many requests, I'm excited to be sharing what is my second favorite Hungarian dish of all time. I really love making anything Hungarian, since the recipes tend to be simple and easy to make, as well as comforting and delicious, and the names are never not fun to say. Top with extra sour cream and freshly sliced chives on top.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 (5 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ cup sweet Hungarian paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 cups chicken broth
⅔ cup sour cream, room temperature
¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Season chicken generously on both sides with salt. Heat olive oil in a heavy, deep-sided pan (that comes with a lid) over high heat and brown the chicken well, skin-side down, about 5 minutes; flip and continue to sear until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and reserve until needed; spoon out excess chicken fat if desired.
  • Add onions and a pinch of salt to the same pan and saute over medium until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and flour and cook, stirring, another 3 to 4 minutes to form a tomato roux. Stir in 1 teaspoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer chicken and accumulated juices back into the pan. Baste the tops with the sauce, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
  • Skim some fat off the top of the sauce if desired. Whisk heavy cream and sour cream into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and any juices back into the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, basting often, until chicken is heated through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
