Allergens

Wheat (flour), Dairy (sour cream)

Ingredients

• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup all
• purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes. Boil them in a pot of salted water until tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain and mash with 4 tablespoons of butter, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Dredge in flour to evenly coat, shaking off excess.
3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil along with diced onion. Cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
5. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
6. Stir in tomato paste, chicken broth, and remaining tablespoon of paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
7. Return chicken breasts to skillet and spoon sauce over them. Cover and cook for another 8 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and registers 165°F when inserted with a thermometer.
8. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add green beans to a pot of boiling salted water and cook for 3 4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and toss with butter and a pinch of salt.
9. Remove chicken from skillet, place on a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Stir sour cream into the sauce, adjusting seasoning as needed.
10. Serve the chicken paprikash over mashed potatoes, top with green beans, and garnish with fresh parsley for an unforgettable Polish dinner experience.
