A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Paprika, this recipe combines tender chicken with a creamy paprika sauce served over herbed noodles.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt a portion of the butter.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a smooth flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the paprika and vinegar, mixing well.
Adding the paprika at this stage enhances its flavor.
Coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper.
Shake off excess flour to ensure even cooking.
Place the chicken in the skillet, browning on both sides.
Don't overcrowd the skillet to achieve a good sear.
Add water to the skillet, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then toss with butter and fresh herbs.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Stir sour cream into the skillet to create a creamy sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
Serve the chicken and sauce over the herbed noodles.
Garnish with additional herbs for a fresh touch.
