Csirke Paprikas ( Chicken paprikas)


10 Chicken Thighs ( or wings, or various parts of chicken)
2 medium yellow onions
2 small tomatoes
2 sweet green peppers
1 hot pepper (optional)
8 oz sour cream
2 Tbs flour
2 Tbs Hungarian paprika
Salt & pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoon of oil

METHOD:
1. Clean chicken by trimming some fat but leaving the skin. If you want to make a healthier version of the recipe, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or just make it with dark meat and bones and skin.
2. Add 2 tablespoon of vegetable to a large pot and heat on medium-high. Add the chopped vegetables to the pot and sauté until translucent (3-5 minutes)
REMOVE POT FROM HEAT (paprika burns. The taste of burned paprika is not a pleasant one.)
3. Add 2 Tbs of Hungarian paprika, salt and pepper to the pot and stir until all of the vegetables are coated
4. While the pot is still removed from the heat, add the chicken to the pot and stir until the chicken is coated with the vegetables and paprika
5. Add enough water just to cover chicken
6. RETURN POT TO HEAT and cover with lid, Cook for 1 hour on medium to medium-low heat
7. In a separate container, mix together 8oz of sour cream and two tablespoons of flour.
8. REMOVE POT FROM HEAT. Add the sour cream/flour mixture to the pot and stir. Cook for an additional 5 minutes
9. Serve with pasta, dumplings, noodles, potatoes, bread or corn meal.
ENJOY!
