Chicken Paprikash... Its Brainy Hungarian!


What is Chicken paprikash? Well, its one of the most famous and beloved of all Hungarian dishes

What is brainy is that you can use any chicken pieces you prefer: legs, wings, thighs, breasts...Just brown in butter along with chopped onions and a substantial dash of paprika. Then mix in or serve with a little or a lot of sour cream.  Again, for this uncomplicated dish: chicken, onions, butter, 'chicken' stock, paprika, salt, sour cream. 

To begin, saute one large chopped onion in two tbs of butter and a little olive oil too (if you like). Next, push aside the onion and lay in your chicken pieces. Brown on both sides. Next, add a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Then, add your paprika. Let this mixture simmer for at least 20 min. depending on the size of your chicken pieces. 

Lastly, add a large dollop of sour cream (or on the table) and simmer on low while you boil as much 'wide' noodle pasta as you need per guest.
