Chicken Paprikash

Here is some definite comfort food that will warm you right up. The spiciness of the paprika and the sweetness of the onions make for a lovely balance.

Chicken Paprikash

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs (or 2 1/2 pound bone-in thighs and legs, if you prefer)
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 large sweet onions (sliced lengthwise)
• black pepper to taste

• salt (to taste)

Instructions:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan and brown the chicken in the butter. About 4 minutes each side. Remove from pan
• Add the onions, stirring occasionally, be sure to scrap up any bits from the bottom of pan, about 8 minutes until brown.
• Add pepper and paprika to the onions and stir. Add chicken broth and stir, again getting an bits from the bottom. Place the chicken on top of the onions and simmer another 20-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees).
• Remove the chicken again and remove pan from the heat. Stir in sour cream to make a creamy sauce. Salt to taste. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with sauce.

I usually make spaetzle to go with this, or egg noodles. Here is my Spaetzle recipe, very simple!
