Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken parts
  • 2 Tablespoons butter or shortening
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock or water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • salt & pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Season generously with salt & ground black pepper. In a wide heavy skillet heat the butter or shortening over a medium high heat. Add as many pieces of chicken to the skillet as will fit without crowding and cook until
golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the chicken to a plate and if you've got any remaining chicken, brown those in the same manner.

Step 3

Add the onions to the remaining fat in the skillet.

Step 4

Reduce the heat slightly. Cook, stirring often, until the onions just begin to color (about 10 minutes). Sprinkle the paprika and flour over the onions.

Step 5

Cook, stirring continuously, for 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add in the chicken stock, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously. Return the chicken with all accumulated juices to the pan. Reduce he heat so that the liquid barely bubbles. Cover the pan and cook 20-30 minutes, turning the chicken once.

Step 7

Ladle out 1 cup of the liquid from the pot and add sour cream, whisk to combine.

Step 8

Add mixture back into the pot and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for an additional 20 minutes to 45 minutes
