Chicken Paprikash with Buttered Egg Noodles

This recipe is a slow cooked version of the traditional and iconic Hungarian dish, chicken paprikash, which uses ample amounts of the recipe’s namesake, paprika. A combination of bone-in chicken thighs, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, sweet paprika, and cayenne make this dish together with effortless ease. The dish is slowly simmered until the chicken is fork-tender and the saucy flavors have melded. The pan sauce is finished right before serving with sour cream for a little added tang. Tender egg noodles are tossed with butter and the entire dish is lightly garnished with fresh parsley.

Place 1/4 cup sour cream in a medium bowl, add a few heaping spoonfuls of the pan sauce, and stir to combine.

6) Remove chicken from the pans and pour the remaining pan sauce into the bowl with the sour cream. Whisk to combine the sauce.

The chicken and noodles came out perfectly. I wasn’t a fan of the sauce. I tried the recipe amount of sour cream and experimented with other ratios but it just came out funky.

We really liked it! Ok so I think this recipe is missing chicken broth. I looked up a regular recipe online for this, and it was very similar except for the broth.
Things I did different:
*just under 4 lb boneless thighs – no sautéing
*Add 1 c chicken broth to the cooking sauce
*after, 1/2 c sour cream and 1/4 cup oat milk (heavy cream is in the Google recipe I found).
