My friend Marisa’s father was an exceptional cook. He made the most delicious meals, and my favorite was his Chicken Paprikas. Before he passed away he passed on the recipe to me so I could enjoy it at home. Every time I make this dish, I remember the fun times I had with Marisa and her dad.
A note on the chicken: You can use breast meat instead of a whole chicken if you’d like, just cut it into chunks. When I’m in a big hurry, I use already-cooked chicken just to speed things along. Also, for the rice, be sure to keep 2 cups of broth for every cup of rice you are making. Use the rest of the broth in with the chicken.
Using 2 tablespoons of oil, brown chicken and remove. Saute onion and garlic. Add paprika (off heat). Add the chicken to the onion mixture. Reserve 2 cups broth for the rice, and add the remaining broth to the chicken. Cook covered for 30-40 minutes till chicken is cooked throughly.
Remove chicken. Add a tablespoon of flour and sour cream; blend. Cook down a little. Add chicken again and cook covered for 15 minutes.
Cook the rice in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the reserved 2 cups chicken broth.
Cover at low heat and cook for 20 minutes until done.

I’m so glad you liked it! I’ve never tried it with cream cheese but that sounds delicious as well!!

Tried this the other night, only silly me kept reading the sour cream as cream cheese, so when I went to make it, guess what? There was no sour cream, only cream cheese, so I used 8oz. of that instead and added a little bit of half and half and it was quite, quite tasty. Thanks for the new recipe to add to my roster!
