Paprika Chicken

Labels: { , }

This is an easy dish to assemble and so tasty with loaded flavours. I had them with some spinach pasta and some greens for the lunch. It was a pure comfort. The smoked sweet paprika gives this creamy braised chicken dish a distinctive flavour.
Adapted from Taste

  • 700 g Chicken drumsticks
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Corn oil
  • 2-3 Shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 clove Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2/3 tbsp Sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1/2 can Tomato
  • 300 ml Chicken stock
  • 90 g Sour cream
  • Some chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
  1. Rinse the chicken drumsticks thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Give the drumstick a few cuts with a knife. Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes on each side or until chicken drumsticks are golden. Remove and drain on paper towel.
  3. Add sliced shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring, until golden. Add in smoked paprika and cumin seeds. Stir briefly, then add in tomato and stock. Return the chicken drumsticks to the skillet. Bring it to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for a further 10 minutes. Turn the heat off. Stir in sour cream. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

And I want to take this opportunity to thank my beautiful blog friends, Elisabeth at Food and Thrift Finds, Chris at Chris's Gourmet Fashion, Jessica at Cajunlicious and Tina at Flour Trader for passing on their awards to me. THANK YOU, ladies, for thinking of me!

Hi Angie! Thank you so much for your sweet words on my baumkuchen post. You're right - it is a German cake, greatly loved by the Japanese. I'm glad I came by just now - I wanted to make chicken curry for dinner, but my boy Joseph saw your gorgeous paprika chicken and told me he wants to help me cook it for dinner! He must be tired of curry lol so your paprika chicken it will be for dinner tonight! Thanks for sharing such a lovely recipe :)

Elisabeth 4/7/11 17:17

Angie dear! I feel so bad for not jumping on to comment to be at least the first ten commentor, but now, I have to be #51?...shame, shame!!!
This is my traditional dish on my Hungarian (maternal) side...which sadly, I never see on any of my Hungarian friends' blog...they're too busy copying American dishes...LOL
Love the drumsticks...so smart that you used only that part, also the addition of cumin. I use at least 2 Tbsp. 1 each, sweet, and hot paprika...other than that, I add a bay leaf or two to the sauce for more flavor and aroma.
Your serving dish is excuisiite, and the presentation, as well! I usually serve this dish with homemade spaetzle (nokedli). Spinach pasta sound great, as well!
Great job, as always!
xoxo
Also, thank you for the mention re: the award, which you so well deserve, and then some:DDD

Angie, how come I haven't discovered you blog until now??? Seeing all the comments I think I must be the last in the web world!
I love the original layout, the photos and the recipes (I also love the above serving dish, very original!).
Your recipe is very similar to the Hungarian Chicken with Paprika (Paprikas Csirke) I posted in October, last year. It is one of my favourite chicken dishes!
Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comment!
