Method

added removed changed

  1. Added step 1:

    Cut the chicken into eight pieces, if your butcher hasn't.

    10 min

  2. Added step 2:

    Chop the onions. Heat the oil in a wide pan and sauté them for 3–4 minutes until they turn pale yellow.

    7 min

  3. Added step 3:

    Add the chicken, peppercorns, salt and paprika and stir quickly. It is a lot of paprika, but sweet paprika is not hot. Straight away add just enough water to cover the meat.

    3 min

  4. Added step 4:

    Simmer over low heat. Don't let it boil.

    10 min

  5. Added step 5:

    If using, add the peppers and carrot.

    1 min

  6. Added step 6:

    Keep simmering until the chicken is tender, stirring now and then and adding water only very sparingly. For the last 15 minutes add no more water, so the sauce cooks down to about half a finger's depth.

    40 min

  7. Added step 7:

    Stir the sour cream and heavy cream into the sauce and top with chopped parsley.
