Day Four

Tonight was definitely a struggle to make dinner. One it is Friday and normally we go out to eat for dinner. Second I went grocery shopping tonight with children who didn't want to behave so when I got home from that I was already mentally exhausted. Despite the hubby trying to pressure me into ordering something, I pushed through and made dinner.





Tonight we had Hungarian Chicken Paprika with Egg Noodles and cauliflower.





Verdict: It was really good and fairly simple to make. HOWEVER.....the Hungarian paprika was spicier than I had anticipated. If making this meal for children I would definitely cut a tremendous amount of the paprika out of the recipe.


Recipe:

CHICKEN PAPRIKA

1 ¾ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons crushed fresh garlic
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 ½ tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 (8 oz) container sour cream

Wash chicken in cold water and pat dry. If using thick chicken breasts, slice the breasts in half on the diagonal before cutting into strips.

In a large skillet with a lid, melt butter and oil on medium high heat. Add onions and saute for about 1 minute. Add chicken strips and saute four about 5 minutes or until most of the pink is out. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Sal and pepper this mixture to taste.

Sprinkle paprika over chicken and continue stirring until well blended with chicken. Sprinkle flour over chicken stirring until well blended.

Slowly add the chicken broth and stir through, bring mixture to a light boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add sour cream. Mix through until sauce is smooth.

Hope you enjoy!
