Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2-4 lb chicken pieces (about 8 pieces) i use thighs and legs
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp butter or oil
3 c onions, sliced thinly
1/4 c good quality paprika
2 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 c chicken stock
2 clove garlic, micro-planed
1 large bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 - 1 1/2 c sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Pat dry the chicken pieces very well. Season with salt and pepper. Melt the butter into a large saute pan and place as many of the pieces as will fit comfortably. Brown nicely on both sides. Remove to a plate until all are done.
  • 2. Place the onions in the pan, reducing heat a bit and stir often until they are softened and coloring. Sprinkle the paprika and flour over the onions, and stir and cook for one minute.
  • 3. Add everything up to the sour cream into the pan, bring to a boil and add the chicken back in with all the accumulated juices from the plate. Reduce heat to a bare simmer, cover and cook until chicken is done (25-30 min).
  • 4. Remove chicken and bay leaf. Skim any fat, and bring to a boil, continuing until sauce is quite thick, almost pasty. Remove from the heat.
  • 5. Add the sour cream, lemon juice and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve over noodles.
