Paprikash Hotdish Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Cook noodles as directed on package; drain.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Use slotted spoon to remove chicken from skillet.
• Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; add onions, bell peppers and garlic. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Stir in paprika and flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese and sour cream.
• Return noodles to pot they were cooked in; add cooked chicken and onion-bell pepper mixture. Stir to combine. Pour into baking dish.
• Cover with foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; stir to coat. Cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in parsley. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over baked casserole, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, until dark red in color, 2 minutes. Add the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the broth and sugar and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and vinegar. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread if desired!

Steps:

• Combine the carrots, sweet paprika, bouillon, butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, bay leaves, celery, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a medium stockpot. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the butter is melted and the vegetables are beginning to sweat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken, browning liquid and 2 1/2 quarts water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is falling apart, about 1 hour.
• Pick out the bay leaves, then stir the pot, to break up the chicken. Add the sour cream and stir thoroughly. Slowly add the flour slurry, stirring constantly, until the raw flour taste is gone and the stew has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Serve over dumplings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the chicken in a 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water. Stir in the sweet and hot paprika and cook for 1 minute; add the tomato paste and cook another minute, stirring. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Spread the rice in the bottom of the casserole dish and top with the chicken and its accumulated juices. Pour the sauce over the whole mixture. Bake until the casserole is heated through and the top is browned lightly, 40 minutes. Top with the chopped parsley and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Spread the onions in the bottom of an 8-cup slow cooker. Toss the beef with the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place on top of the onions. Top with the bell peppers and garlic. Stir together the broth, paprika, tomato paste and caraway and pour over the beef. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, either on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
• Uncover and let stand at least 10 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and dill and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over egg noodles or potatoes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Season the chicken aggressively with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large, heavy, oven-safe sauté pan or Dutch oven set over high flame, until the butter is foaming. Sear the chicken in batches, skin-side down, until it is golden and crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Then turn the chicken over, and repeat on the other side, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
• Pour off all but a tablespoon or 2 of the accumulated fat in the pot. Return the pot to the stove, over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently with a spoon to scrape off any browned bits of chicken skin, until the onion has softened and gone translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir again, cooking it until it has softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the paprika and the flour, and stir well to combine, then cook until the mixture is fragrant and the taste of the flour has been cooked out, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and broth, whisk until smooth and then nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up. Slide the pan or pot into the oven, and cook until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a large pot of heavily salted water to boil over high heat. Cook noodles in the water until they are almost completely tender, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles, and toss them in a bowl with the remaining butter, then toss again to coat.
• Place the chicken on top of the noodles, then add the sour cream to the sauce, stir to combine and ladle it over the whole.

Steps:

• Season chicken generously on both sides with salt. Heat olive oil in a heavy, deep-sided pan (that comes with a lid) over high heat and brown the chicken well, skin-side down, about 5 minutes; flip and continue to sear until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and reserve until needed; spoon out excess chicken fat if desired.
• Add onions and a pinch of salt to the same pan and saute over medium until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and flour and cook, stirring, another 3 to 4 minutes to form a tomato roux. Stir in 1 teaspoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer chicken and accumulated juices back into the pan. Baste the tops with the sauce, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
• Skim some fat off the top of the sauce if desired. Whisk heavy cream and sour cream into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and any juices back into the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, basting often, until chicken is heated through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Gradually stir in 2 1/2 cups of flour to make a stiff batter. Using two spoons, scoop out some batter with one spoon and use the second to scrap off the spoonful of batter into the boiling water. Repeat until several dumplings are cooking. Cook dumplings for 10 minutes or until they float to the top; then lift from the water and drain in a colander or sieve. Rinse with warm water.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and add chicken; cook until lightly browned, turning once. Add onion to skillet and cook 5 to 8 minutes more. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of water, and season with paprika, salt, and pepper; cook 10 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into sour cream; then slowly stir into the onion mixture remaining in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened.
• To serve, add dumplings to the sour cream/onion mixture, then spoon onto dinner plates adding a piece of chicken.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering. Add half of the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Spoon off the fat from the skillet or Dutch oven, then melt the butter in the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add the onion, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in both paprikas and the cayenne, then stir in the flour and cook until fragrant and the mixture starts to stick to the bottom, about 1 minute.
• Gradually stir or whisk in the broth and tomatoes until incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles or pappardelle to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain.
• Nestle the pork in the sauce and cook, stirring gently, until the pork is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup of sour cream. Serve over the cooked noodles or pappardelle, topped with sour cream and dill sprigs.
