Creamy Chicken Paprikash

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sweet paprika, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Stir the sour cream into the sauce until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is heated through.
  7. Serve the creamy chicken paprikash hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
