Very good, extremely fast and easy to customize. One family member hates tomatoes, so I left those out. I saved a couple minutes by sauteeing the onions and chicken at the same time. Added most of the broth, then the sour cream and warmed to a bare simmer. I also thickened the sauce with a bit of the broth mixed with cornstarch after I added the sour cream and cooked it down a bit. Added some salt and fresh ground pepper, too. I served it over herbed couscous with steamed broccoli on the side and it was a hit! Thank you so much for sharing this quick and simple recipe! Next time I'll add some mushrooms just for fun, I think.

I made this yesterday for our dinner and it was fabulous. I used chicken thighs and Canned Plum tomatoes as I didn't have any fresh. Because it takes thighs a little bit longer to cook (and I had left them whole) I put them back into the pan after browning the onions and adding the stock etc. I then covered it and let it simmer for about half an hour. The sauce ended up a bit on the runny side (probably because I covered it) so I (and I hope this is not a sacriledge) sprinkled some Chicken gravy powder over it to thicken it a bit. I used half fat creme fraiche. We were delighted with the results! This was really delicious served with mashed potatoes. Thanks for a great recipe I know I will use again!

Growing up in a Hungarian household I have had Chicken Paprikas more times than I can remember. I made a special dinner last night to honor my Hngarian father, who passed away two years ago. My dad would have loved this! For religious reasons I left out the sour cream, and used olive oil instead of butter, but it was still wonderfully delicious! I used a whole boned and skinned chicken, cut into bit size pieces. Served with Box O'Wine's Hungarian Nokedli (Dumplings) #54823, this made a meal my father would have loved to have eaten every day! Thanks for bringing back some wonderful childhood memories.
