Low Fat Chicken Paprikash

Low Fat Chicken Paprikash

Fiona Haynes
This Hungarian-style chicken paprikash dish uses reduced fat sour cream instead of the full fat version. You can use fat-free sour cream too. Choose Hungarian paprika over the bland American kind if you can. It gives the dish a much better flavor. If you want to make your paprikash even spicier, add some cayenne pepper, but just a little!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp paprika (Hungarian if you can get it)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 8-ounce can no salt added tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup reduced fat sour cream

Preparation:

In a large skillet over a medium high heat, saute onion until softened. Sprinkle paprika and cayenne (if using) over onion and stir. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes each side, until no longer pink. Add chicken broth and tomato sauce. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in sour cream and cook for two minutes more. Serve over noodles or rice.

Absolutely Wonderful, Member hopkindn

I made this for dinner and it was fantastic! I just started a serious low-calorie and low-fat diet to lose 100 pounds. I've lost 10 pounds and it is recipes like this that maintain my confidence that healthy food can be delicious and will aid in my weight loss success. I recommend this to anyone with a skillet and a love of chicken.
