CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH HOMEMADE NOODLES
Ingredients:
2 heads of sliced red onion
1.2 kg diced chicken (thighs and drumsticks)
10 g ground sweet red paprika (you can add hot paprika to taste)
500 ml water
2 tablespoons sour cream
Oil for frying
Parsley for garnish
Pepper
Salt
Preparation: Pour enough oil into a pot to cover the bottom and heat it up. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring, over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides, then place it in the pot and turn it after 5 minutes.
Season with ground sweet paprika and mix well. Pour in half of the water and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. When the water evaporates, add the remaining water. Cook until the liquid reduces for an additional 20 minutes. Towards the end of cooking, taste the paprikash and season with salt and pepper as needed, then add the sour cream.
Serve the paprikash with homemade noodles and garnish with parsley if desired. Enjoy your meal!
