Chicken Paprikash
This Hungarian dish is traditionally simmered for quite a while. Using boneless chicken thighs cuts down on time as well as adds lots of flavour. Substitute a short pasta, such as fusilli, for the egg noodles, if desired.
Ingredients
- • 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- • 1 lb (454 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs, quartered
- • 1 onion, thinly sliced
- • 3 cloves garlic, minced
- • 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced trimmed cremini mushrooms
- • 2 tbsp (30 mL) sweet paprika
- • 3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour
- • 2 tbsp (30 mL) tomato paste
- • 2 cups (500 mL) sodium-reduced chicken broth
- • 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice

- • 1 pinch pepper
- • 1 pkg (375 g) broad egg noodles
- • ½ cup (125 mL) 5% sour cream
- • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, 4 to 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove chicken to plate. Drain fat from pan.
