Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender. Add the paprika.

    Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Place in the skillet with the onion. Add stock, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Turn the chicken and simmer until tender, another 40 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Put the sour cream into a bowl and stir in 1/2cup broth from the skillet. Stir mixture back into the skillet. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Serve with oven rice (see recipe).

Same basic recipe my grandmother made except she added I sliced green pepper and a drained can of whole peeled tomatoes to the chicken as it simmered.

Simple recipe, straight forward, authentic and excellent.

Very good. Made with boneless skinless thighs. So easy. Threw in a can of mushrooms and a tablespoon of tomato paste.

Everyone loved it but not much flavor. Meh.

I liked it and it’s so nice and easy. At the end, I removed the chicken pieces and cooked the sauce down slightly before adding sourcream mixture and a bit of Easy Blend Robinhood flour (which I prefer to conrstarch). I made half the recipe, and the chicken pieces were boneless so I cooked it half as long — 15 minutes, turned the chicken, 15 minutes more.
