Chicken Paprikash

About

Chicken Paprikash is a classic dish of the Hungarian culture. Your main course will be rich, savory, and surprisingly flavorful for having only a few seasonings. The creamy sauce tastes delicious over low carb sides, such as mashed cauliflower or steamed broccoli. As a one-pan meal, your cooking time is short. It’s great for those late nights when you don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen or you simply don’t have enough time at all to make a difficult meal!

Ingredients

6 oz, boneless, raw, without skin (yield after cooking) chicken breast
¼ teaspoon salt table
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ tablespoon butter
¼ cup, chopped yellow onions
¼ cup, sliced red bell pepper
1 clove garlic raw
1 tablespoon spices paprika
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon sour cream
½ tablespoon parsley raw
½ tablespoon dill

Instructions

Place your raw chicken breast on a flat surface, and pound it flat to around a ½-inch thickness. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the exposed side and press the seasonings down gently so they adhere to the chicken breast.
In a small, shallow pan, melt the butter on medium heat. Place the chicken breast (salt and pepper side down) in the butter and cover the pan. Cook for about 2.5 minutes on one side, or until a golden-brown edge forms. Flip the chicken over and cook for the same amount of time on the other side (covered) or until the chicken is cooked entirely through.
Turn the stove heat down to low and transfer the chicken breast to a safe place for later use. Leave any juices in the pan.
Dice the yellow onion, slice the red bell pepper thin, and mince the garlic. Add these three items to the pan. Cover with a lid, and let the ingredients cook on low for about 2 minutes, or until the onions and peppers are soft.
Sprinkle the paprika over the ingredients. Stir continuously and cook the ingredients, uncovered, for about 30 seconds or until the paprika smells smoky and fragrant.
Gently pour the chicken broth into the pan. Stir and bring the liquid to a simmer on medium-low heat. Allow the liquid to reduce for about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in the sour cream.
Return the chicken breast to the pan of sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken and allow the flavors to merry for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the Chicken Paprikash with chopped dill and parsley, if you wish. Enjoy!
