Chicken Paprikash

Serves 4

Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 teaspoons hot or sweet paprika or both
1 large garlic clove
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup no-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add onions and garlic to the pan and cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add paprika and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to a lively simmer. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until the sauce is reduced and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream. Sprinkle with parsley.
  4. Serve over whole wheat noodles instead of dumplings.
