Sour Cream Chicken Breast is a dish that, despite its simplicity, is extremely tasty and popular in Hungarian households. The dish is a classic domestic dish, where the chicken breast bathes in a rich sour cream sauce that enhances the fine taste of the meat. The specialty of sour cream chicken breast is that the chicken breast is not only quick to prepare, but also remains extremely juicy, while the flavors blend in perfect harmony.
The origin of the dish dates back to the 80s, when the combination of sour cream and spices became very popular. Sour cream chicken breast is the perfect choice for a quick weekday dinner, but it is also ideal for festive occasions. The creamy, sour cream sauce softens the chicken, making every bite soft and mouthwatering.
Slice the chicken breast into thin slices or strips, then season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the chicken breast and cook until browned on all sides.
Sprinkle with Hungarian sweet paprika, then stir in the sour cream. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the sour cream chicken breast with rice, cooked pasta, or a fresh salad.
