2 Servings; can be doubled

Ingredients

2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips

4 teaspoons paprika, preferably Hungarian sweet

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 large plum tomato, seeded, chopped

1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

1/4 cup regular or reduced-fat sour cream

Preparation

Season chicken with 1 teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to same skillet. Add onion and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 3 teaspoons paprika; stir 10 seconds. Add tomato and stir until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add broth. Increase heat to high and boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon thinly, about 5 minutes. Mix in chicken and any collected juices. Reduce heat to low. Add sour cream and stir just until heated through (do not boil). Season paprik´s to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Recipe notes

Chicken Croquettes

Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.

Beef Stroganoff Ramen

This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?

Vermicelli Chicken and Rice With Cardamom and Cinnamon

This one-pot chicken and rice is a dinner-time winner. It gives you everything you need really: protein power, carb comfort, and joy in the form of crispy edges.

Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic

Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.

Slow-Smoked Chicken

An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.

Sofrito Bolognese

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

Speedy Chicken Stroganoff

This easy, one-skillet chicken stroganoff features tender chicken breasts, savory mushrooms, and a creamy Dijon-crème fraîche sauce—perfect for weeknights.
