This classic Hungarian dish is traditionally made with sweet paprika, but we used smoked paprika to add depth to the sauce. Add it to your repertoire for a seriously unforgettable meal.

Ingredients

Method

Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 tsp each of the salt and pepper. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in 2 batches, skin side down, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate. 

Reserving 1 tbsp fat, drain pan; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onion, garlic, remaining 1/2 tsp salt and remaining 1/4 tsp pepper until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add paprika; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes; bring to boil. Transfer to slow cooker; stir in red pepper. Place chicken over top. Cook until chicken is tender, about 4 1/2 hours on high or 8 to 9 hours on low.

Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Transfer to bowl; stir in butter.

Transfer chicken to plate. In small bowl, stir together sour cream and about 1/4 cup of the sauce mixture; stir sour cream mixture into slow cooker until combined.

Serve chicken over noodles with sauce spooned over top. Sprinkle with parsley.

Test Kitchen Tip: You can use either boneless skinless or bone-in skin-on chicken thighs. Both brown equally well and are equally delicious.
