Hungarian Paprika Chicken

This is a relatively simple and quick way to change up a boring chicken routine with a total cook time of about an hour or less. Sweet paprika is less spicy than standard or hot paprika, so this dish appeals to a wide audience. Interesting fact: paprika is a form of chili peppers brought to Hungary from South American in the 16th Century.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into drumsticks, thighs, and breasts (skin on preferred, but skinless works)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 3 tbsp sweet paprika

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear chicken pieces on each side for 5-7 minutes until browned. If necessary, sear in two batches. Remove chicken and set aside.

  2. Add onions to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Stir in paprika and tomato paste, mixing to form a paste with the onions and garlic.

  4. Add broth and return chicken to the pan. Cook for 20-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  5. Serve chicken from the pan, optionally paired with spicy coriander potatoes.
