PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons dried marjoram
3 teaspoons sweet paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 3- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
3 large onions, chopped (about 4 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, diced (about 2 cups)
One 4.56-ounce tube tomato paste (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1 tablespoon of the marjoram, 1 teaspoon of the paprika and some salt and black pepper in a low-sided dish. Stir until blended.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add the butter and oil. Heat until the butter has melted and the oil is shiny.
  • Sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and black pepper. Next, dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour on all sides. Shake to remove excess flour before placing the chicken into the hot pot. Working in batches if necessary, sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the onions to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle with the sugar and some salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and turned golden, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic and bell peppers and cook for 1 minute more. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, red pepper flakes and the remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram and 2 teaspoons sweet paprika; stir to combine.
  • Place the chicken back in the pot, nestling it in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the chicken is very tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 50 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a serving dish. Mix the sour cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl. Stir the mixture into the sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle generously with dill.

ROASTED CURRIED CHICKEN WITH COUSCOUS



Roasted Curried Chicken with Couscous image

A great blend of exciting and subtle flavors that are infused into the chicken during cooking, making every bite juicy and lively. As 'lively' as the flavor is, it is also great as a winter comfort food. I like to make the chicken just a bit on the spicy side, as when it is served with a side of mildly spiced couscous it mellows just enough. Makes the whole house smell delicious!

CHICKEN PAPRIKAS



Chicken Paprikas image

Yield 2 Servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
4 teaspoons paprika, preferably Hungarian sweet
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large plum tomato, seeded, chopped
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup regular or reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • Season chicken with 1 teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to same skillet. Add onion and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 3 teaspoons paprika; stir 10 seconds. Add tomato and stir until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add broth. Increase heat to high and boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon thinly, about 5 minutes. Mix in chicken and any collected juices. Reduce heat to low. Add sour cream and stir just until heated through (do not boil). Season paprik´s to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in yogurt, spices, and herbs not only adds flavor but also tenderizes it, resulting in juicy and succulent chicken.
  • Use high-quality paprika: The quality of paprika can significantly impact the dish's flavor. Choose a good quality paprika, preferably Hungarian paprika, for the best results.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Overcooking can dry out the chicken, so cook it until it is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the heart of this dish, so take the time to make it right. Sautéing the onions and garlic until they are fragrant and then adding the spices and paprika paste creates a rich and flavorful base for the sauce.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and mint add a vibrant and refreshing flavor to the dish. Chop them finely and stir them in just before serving to preserve their delicate flavors.

Conclusion:

Paprika Butter Chicken with Couscous is a delicious and versatile dish that combines the bold flavors of Indian cuisine with the convenience of a one-pot meal. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a flavorful dish to impress your guests, this recipe has you covered. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and fluffy couscous, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
