Chicken Paprika

Serves 6
Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time 1 to 2 hours

1 large chicken, jointed (or use 2 large chicken legs and 2 breasts,
halved)
salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
knob butter
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp sweet paprika
1 Tbsp hot paprika
1 Tbsp flour
285ml/1/2pint chicken stock
3 Tbsp chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
2 red peppers, de-seeded and cut into 1cm/0.5in strips
4 large ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
250ml/8fl oz sour cream

Rub the chicken pieces with the salt. Heat the oil and butter in a large
heavy-bottomed pan and brown the chicken all over for a few minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set to one side.
To the same pan, add the onions and garlic and sweat for about five
minutes. Add the sweet and hot paprika, then the flour, and stir until
combined - take care not to burn it.
Add the stock and stir. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, adding a bit
more stock if the mixtures seems too dry.
Add half of the chopped parsley and bring to the boil. Add the red pepper
strips, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and simmer gently for about one hour.
When the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sour
cream and the remaining parsley. Check the seasoning and serve.
