Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp paprika (preferably Hungarian)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Brown Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Onion & Garlic: In the same pan, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add Paprika & Cumin: Stir in paprika and cumin, and cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Simmer Chicken: Return the chicken to the pan. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Make Sauce: Mix flour with sour cream and add to the pan, stirring well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with egg noodles or rice.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes.
- This dish can also be made with boneless chicken breasts for a quicker cooking time.
- For an extra creamy sauce, increase the amount of sour cream slightly.
