Sour Cream Chicken Breast is a true Hungarian classic, quick to prepare and guaranteed to please everyone. The juicy chicken breast fillet, creamy, paprika-infused sour cream sauce, and mild seasoning create a perfect harmony. It's an ideal choice for a weekday dinner when you crave something hearty and delicious but don't have much time in the kitchen. Serve it with pasta, rice, or boiled potatoes.

Steps

Preparation

Cut the chicken breast into approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) cubes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Finely chop the red onion and mince or grate the garlic.

Sautéing

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Chicken and Spices

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sweet paprika powder, mixing quickly to prevent it from burning. Add the cubed chicken breast and toss to coat it evenly with the paprika-onion base. Return the pan to the heat and sear the chicken on all sides until it turns white, about 5-7 minutes.

Making the Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken, mix thoroughly, then pour in the chicken broth or water. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. Be careful not to let the sour cream boil, as it may curdle. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Serving

Serve hot with freshly cooked pasta, rice, or boiled potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
