Servings

Low-fat chicken breasts stay juicy and delicious in the velvety, zesty sauce for this healthy Hungarian chicken dish.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup(s) canola oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup(s) sweet Hungarian paprika, plus more for sprinkling
• 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) caraway seeds, ground
• 3 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
• 6 cup(s) chicken stock or low-sodium broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 thyme sprigs
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 pound(s) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup(s) 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.
