I've been in the mood for comfort food lately. I think it's the weather - it's chilly out and that makes me want to curl up with a cup of tea and a plate of something familiar and delicious. Chicken Paprikas (Paprikas Csirke) is an old Hungarian family favorite, so I improvised a single-serving version that's quick and diet friendly.
Recipe:
1 chicken breast
3-4 cloves garlic
3-4 teaspoons paprika (I like Penzey's smoked paprika)
1-2 ounces yogurt
Sea salt
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a skillet, add 1 teaspoon of paprika to water. Pierce chicken breast in several places and insert garlic cloves into the chicken. Rub chicken with paprika.
Simmer chicken breast for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. When chicken is done, remove from heat, and take the chicken out of the pan. There should be 1/2 - 1 cup of liquid left in the skillet, if not, add a little water or chicken broth. Add yogurt to cooking liquid and stir until smooth, add more paprika if desired, and salt to taste.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
Delicious!
