Pressure Cooker Hungarian Chicken

Loved this recipe and my husband declared it "excellent"! It was a taking off point for me because I like to use more veggies. I also substituted non-fat Greek yogurt for sour cream and served it over brown rice. Not sure why 3 1/2 to 4 lbs of chicken is supposed to feed only 4 people. I didn't brown the chicken to avoid drying it out. I diced a carrot and a parsnip and sauted them with the onion before adding the chicken. I used a can of tomatoes instead of fresh and layered thick shreds of green cabbage on top of the chicken before putting the top on the cooker. The cabbage was perfectly cooked, melting into the sauce but not overcooked -- no"cabbagey" smell. The chicken was fork tender but not dry. Delicious!

This is a super recipe- The gravy with the egg noodles is amazing delicious! I had everything but the tomato, used a shot of ketchup and never missed a beat.
Thanks for a great recipe- family destroyed it!

I didn't follow it exactly, but it was oh so good! I used tomatoes that I had previously froze from my garden (so it was probably like triple the tomatoes). I also added some cabbage like a previous reviewer did. Also doubled the broth for extra sauce for my big family. I recently ordered some coconut oil for cooking and I used this instead of the cooking oil and let me just say...WOW! It made such an impact on the dish! It was so good. As I ate it I could imagine it being made with smoked salmon instead of chicken and including mushrooms. I think I will try that next time. (:

This turned out great! I pressure cooked a whole chicken, and hand shredded it to add back into the sauce. Turned out great. Served over noodles, and rice the next day as leftovers. Family loved it.

The sauce in this recipe is outstanding! This was my first time using a pressure cooker, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fast and easy it is. I used 4 bone in skinless thighs, and cooked them for 10 minutes. They were tender and perfectly cooked. I also subbed smoked paprika for half of the regular paprika, and loved the result. I'll definitely make again!

Excellent! I added mushrooms to mine and used boneless skinless thighs, but followed the recipe pretty much exactly (1 t. mild paprika and 1 t hot was my only change) and it turned out fantastic. Even the fussy 8 year old loved it. Definitely on the "do again" list! Thanks!

Awesome - my DH and I really loved this dish! Such a simple recipe turned out so beautifully! I didn't peel my tomato because I am lazy, but I don't think it made a discernable difference. I used fat free sour cream with a small amount of easy blending flour mixed in to augment the thickening of the sauce. This was really delicious and I will definitely make it again!

This was terrific!! I used 1/2 bullion cube and 1/2 cup of water instead of the broth (it's all I had on hand) and lowered the salt a little because of this. I only used only 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs since it's just me and my husband and me, I left the sauce the same which was great for extra for the noodles. I also used plain yogurt instead of sour cream since I live where there is no sour cream....i worked just fine. I will definitely make this again...very different, tastey, and easy. I think this could even be made in a regular pan with a tight lid, a little extra liquid and increased cooking time. Thanks for sharing!!!

yummy! just got my pressure cooker, & this sounded great. i messed up, as i was nervous about using the PC the 1st time, and didnt cook down the liquid before adding the sour cream and chicken back, so i just made a roux & added the liquid to it to temper the sour cream, and then let is simmer a bout 5 minutes. will def make it again! oh! and i also used german parika paste- as i dont know where to get hungarian paprika. thanks!

Take it from a Hungarian grandson, this is what it's supposed to taste like and this is what you want your kitchen to smell like. Spaetzle type noodles would be more traditional, but who's got the time? Don't miss out on trying this recipe because you think it's too spicy. If in doubt, make the paprika a 50/50, hot/regular mix. Szeged in the tin cans is a good brand. I made it with two large chicken breasts. Great leftovers that are better the second day.

The best chicken recipe ever! I modified it a little bit, by not using the sour cream and I also used rice instead of noodles. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! You have to try it.

Outstanding recipe! I added chopped carrots, celery and mushrooms sauteed in olive oil until tender. This was my first recipe using paprika. It was a very big hit with the family, especially with my hard to please 8 year old son.

I was skeptical, because of such few ingredients. But this dish was very flavorful! The only thing I added was some cracked black pepper. It was great!

This is a great recipe!! I used skinless thighs and legs as we don't like soggy skin. It was very flavorful. A very nice winter meal.

Absolutely amazing! This was my very first attempt at pressure cooking and it turned out great. I did alter the recipe a bit..due to family preferance. I only used 1/2 tsp of paprika. I also didn't have a fresh tomatoe so I used a 1/2 a can of Rotel Tomatoes. I added mushrooms and chopped celery. This is definately a keeper! My husband even said it may have been the best meal I've ever cooked for him!!

This is one great and easy recipe! I seasoned the chicken pieces with garlic, black and red pepper before browning. I also used 1 can of diced tomatoes instead of the fresh chopped (saved a trip to the store) and it still turned out great.

Awesome recipe! I just prepared it for lunch and am inviting guests Sun night to do it again, with a little variation. Thanks you Mrs. Goodall :)
