Paprika Chicken Stew
Description
This Paprika Chicken Stew begins by seasoning chicken pieces with salt and pepper before searing. Onions and a mix of yellow or red and green peppers are sautéed with garlic to develop sweetness and aromatic depth. A sauce is created by whisking flour and Hungarian paprika into chicken broth, then added to the pot along with bay leaves and the chicken. The stew simmers covered for 45-50 minutes, allowing the chicken to become tender and the flavors to meld.
The dish has a thickened, velvety broth with subtle smoky warmth from the paprika. The combination of tender chicken on the bone and softened peppers and onions creates a hearty texture suited for colder days or a comforting dinner.
Serving this stew warm allows the spices to shine and the meat to be juicy and flavorful. Discarding the bay leaves before serving ensures a smooth presentation. It pairs well with bread or starches like rice to soak up the sauce.
