How to Make Paprikash Csirke Paprika Chicken

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large casserole dish or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Arrange 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) on top of the onions. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and add 1 cup of chopped carrots.
  5. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Serve hot over your favorite pasta, such as macaroni, egg noodles, or spaetzle. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
