Chicken Paprikash
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken, skin and fat removed or boneless chicken breasts
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
- 1/2 cup defatted chicken stock
- 1-1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. In a heavy, nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 4 to 5 minutes until the underside is golden. Turn the chicken and cook the other side for the same time. Sprinkle the onions and garlic around the chicken and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the onions are softened. Sprinkle with paprika and cook, turning the chicken and onion over, about one minute. Turn the heat to low, add chicken stock and cover the pan. Simmer, turning the chicken occasionally for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. In a measuring cup or small bowl, stir together the yogurt and cornstarch. Add to the skillet and cook stirring until the mixture is boiling and thickened. Season with salt & pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve hot. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serves 4.
