Chicken Paprikash


1.5kg chicken (bone in, skin on. I use Maryland)
2 tablespoons pork lard or duck fat
2 brown onions (finely diced)
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tin diced tomatoes
1 bell pepper or chilli if you prefer
4 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
2 cups chicken broth/stock
3 tablespoons plain flour
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup thick whipping cream

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius
  2. Heat up lard/duck fat and fry seasoned chicken
  3. Remove chicken, cook onion and garlic until soft
  4. Add bell pepper/chilli and tomatoes
  5. Stir in paprika and chicken stock
  6. Add chicken back in and transfer to oven for 45-50 minutes. If you don’t have an oven, just do it on low over the stovetop
  7. In a bowl, sift flour into sour cream. Mix in whipping cream until it is smooth
  8. Remove chicken from sauce and stir in the cream mixture until it is smooth and well mixed. Keep heating the sauce until it is thickened if not already
  9. Put the chicken back in and serve with rice
