This is a delicious family recipe that is always a hit. Pretty and tasty enough to serve to dinner guests. It has a little kick to it from Serrano chiles and you can add more or less, or leave them out completely... it is still yummy! This recipe uses bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but you can use boneless skinless if you want.

This is a delicious chicken recipe for tonight's dinner. It takes a little time to cook, but it's so easy and very tasty. Serrano chilis bring some heat, but the sour cream adds a cool tang and some creaminess. Chopped parsley on top finishes with fresh flavor and results in a fantastic dish.

How To Make chicken paprika with sour cream

    1
    Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Sprinkle the chicken with kosher salt and arrange skin side down in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook 20-25 minutes, until a dark, golden brown, turning chicken once after 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Onions, chilis, garlic, and spices cooking in the skillet.
    2
    Cook the onion, chilis, garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt in the pan drippings for about 3-4 minutes, stirring until tender. Stir in the paprika and cayenne pepper; cook 1 minute.
  • Adding chicken thighs back to the skillet with chilis and spices.
