CHICKEN PAPRIKASH



Chicken Paprikash image

Spices lose their flavor over time but few as quickly as paprika, which starts out tasting of pepper and sunshine but deteriorates in but a few months to sawdust and bitterness. For this recipe, get some new at the market: sweet or hot Hungarian paprika is best, but the generic article isn't terrible and the smoky Spanish varieties known as pimentón de La Vera would not be out of place either, lending a deep, woodsy aroma reminiscent of cooking over an open fire. It's a dish that pairs beautifully with butter-slicked egg noodles.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 to 4 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks, or whole chicken legs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow or Spanish onion, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons Hungarian paprika, sweet or hot, or a combination
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes or 1 large ripe tomato, chopped
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or, if not, low-sodium
1 pound egg noodles
3/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400. Season the chicken aggressively with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large, heavy, oven-safe sauté pan or Dutch oven set over high flame, until the butter is foaming. Sear the chicken in batches, skin-side down, until it is golden and crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Then turn the chicken over, and repeat on the other side, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
  • Pour off all but a tablespoon or 2 of the accumulated fat in the pot. Return the pot to the stove, over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently with a spoon to scrape off any browned bits of chicken skin, until the onion has softened and gone translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir again, cooking it until it has softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the paprika and the flour, and stir well to combine, then cook until the mixture is fragrant and the taste of the flour has been cooked out, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and broth, whisk until smooth and then nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up. Slide the pan or pot into the oven, and cook until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set a large pot of heavily salted water to boil over high heat. Cook noodles in the water until they are almost completely tender, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles, and toss them in a bowl with the remaining butter, then toss again to coat.
  • Place the chicken on top of the noodles, then add the sour cream to the sauce, stir to combine and ladle it over the whole.

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.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH SPAETZLE



Chicken Paprikash With Spaetzle image

Make and share this Chicken Paprikash With Spaetzle recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Mark Kovach

Categories     Stew

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -3 lb chicken parts
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons butter (your choice) or 2 tablespoons margarine (your choice)
1 tablespoon oil
4 -6 cups water
chicken bouillon cube (not necessary with large amt of chicken) (optional)
1 (8 -16 ounce) container sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 -6 eggs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • OK let's be Hungarian.
  • Firstly we don't call the dumplings "spaetzle" but I can't spell the word that Grandma always used so I've borrowed the German term. (I've since learned how to spell Nokedli.).
  • Start by heating the oil in a large pot and browning your chicken parts.
  • Remove the chicken and add the butter or margarine to the pot.
  • Sauté the onion in the melted butter until transparent.
  • Add paprika, chicken, and water, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes. (NOTE: I've learned over the years that using a 32 oz box of broth adds a lot of flavor to the dish.).
  • Chicken should be very tender and about to fall off bones.
  • Remove chicken to bowl.
  • Add enough fresh water to pot to bring back to original level.
  • Check flavor of broth.
  • If flavor is weak add enough bullion to produce a well flavored broth. (SKIP this step if you used broth.).
  • Bring broth to boil.
  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper with eggs (the more eggs the richer the batter but two is OK) to form a thick batter.
  • Now comes the tricky (and boring) part.
  • Drop batter in boiling broth in 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon amounts until all batter is in pot and cooked.
  • Spaetzle is cooked when it floats on surface.
  • You may need to remove some to get it all in the pot.
  • With all spaetzle cooked and in pot you now add your sour cream to broth. The amount is individual according to how creamy you wish the sauce to become (and how much water you started with).
  • At this point I usually add about three tablespoons of flour mixed with one cup of water to thicken the broth. Sorry I omitted this step in the original submission.
  • The sauce and spaetzle is the best part of this dish so be sure to make enough! They will be coming back for seconds on that part of the dish.
  • One of the most surprising things about this dish is it actually tastes better the second day. Sooo if you are making it for a special dinner prepare it the day before and simply reheat it one half hour before serving.
