Low-fat chicken breasts stay juicy and delicious in the velvety, zesty sauce for this healthy Hungarian chicken dish. Ingredients:
1/4 cup canola oil |
1 large onion, thinly sliced |
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced |
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup sweet hungarian paprika, plus more for sprinkling |
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds, ground |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
6 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth |
2 bay leaves |
2 thyme sprigs |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream |
Directions:
1. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole or Dutch oven, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion, bell peppers and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the paprika, caraway and flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bay leaves and thyme sprigs, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are very tender and the sauce is thickened, about 1 hour.
2. Add the chicken to the sauce and cook over high heat until just white throughout, about 6 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Spoon the chicken into bowls, and top with sour cream. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
