Everyday Paprika Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken legs
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Some vegetable oil
• ~30g butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large red onion, chopped
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 3 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 3-4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 200-300 ml broth (chicken or vegetable)
• 3-4 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken legs with salt and black pepper.

Fry the Chicken: Heat a combination of vegetable oil, butter, and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium/high heat. Fry the chicken legs for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Make the Gravy: In the same pan, sauté the chopped red onion and minced garlic until softened. Add the paprika and flour, stirring well to combine. Add the chopped ripe tomatoes and cook for a few minutes until they start to break down. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or other favorite seasonings as needed.

Cook the Chicken in the Gravy: Return the chicken legs to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Finish the Dish: Stir in the sour cream and bring the gravy to a boil. Cook for about 2 more minutes.

Serve: Serve the chicken legs with the rich and flavorful gravy.
