Paprika chicken
My mum travelled through Eastern Europe and all I got was a tin of paprika. Mum knows me so well because, for me, a tin of paprika is the perfect present and I headed straight to the kitchen to make a version of chicken paprika which is Hungarian in origin. I hadn’t made one for ages and had forgotten how good it is… made even better thanks to this cute wee tin of spice.
Ingredients
| 8 | Chicken pieces, thighs and legs are best |
| 1 Tbsp | Oil |
| 1 Tbsp | Butter |
| 1 | Onion, finely chopped |
| 1 clove | Garlic, crushed |
| 200 g | Mushrooms, chopped |
| 1 Tbsp | Paprika, plus extra to serve |
| ¾ cup | Chicken stock |
| 400 g | Egg noodles |
| 1 small | Lemon, zested |
| 150 g | Sour cream |
| 1 sprinkle | Chopped parsley, to serve |
Directions
- Fry the chicken pieces in the oil and butter until brown all over. Remove from the pan.
- Turn down the heat and cook the onion and garlic gently until onion is soft.
- Turn the heat back up and add the mushrooms, stir-frying for 2 minutes.
- Stir through the paprika and then the chicken stock. Add the chicken back in. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce is turning syrupy and the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile cook egg noodles according to packet instructions.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper and lemon zest and fold through the sour cream. Serve sprinkled with extra paprika and chopped parsley.

added 305 days agoThis is soooo yummy!!! I thought it may be a bit rich but the zest lifts it. Didn't use as much sour cream as the recipe suggested. Loved it!

added 668 days agoMade this tonight and followed the recipe. Used chicken fillets instead (don't like fighting with bones). I used light sour cream and thickened the sauce with a little cornflour/milk mixture. I worried that it might be very spicy with that amount of paprika but it wasn't spicy at all. Flavourful, light, enjoyable meal. Easy to multiply up if you're feeding lots of hungry teenagers. Highly recommend.
