How to serve: Hot
Ingredients:
Oil, butter or lard 2 tablespoons
Chicken, cut into serving pieces 2 1/2 to 3 pounds
Onions, thinly sliced 2
Hungarian sweet paprika 1/4 cup
Flour 2 tablespoons
Stock or water 1 1/2 cups
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream 1 cup
Lemon juice (optional) 1 tablespoon
Preparation:
Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet. Add the chicken pieces a few at a time and brown on all sides. Remove to a platter.
Remove any excess oil leaving about 2 tablespoons and add the onions. Sauté the onions until wilted and just beginning to brown. Stir in the paprika and flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the stock or water, breaking up any lumps. Add the browned chicken pieces and the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken to a platter and skim any excess fat from the sauce. Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice if using. Adjust seasoning and reheat over low flame. Return the chicken to the sauce and serve hot.
