Chicken paprikash is a classic Hungarian recipe made with onions and peppers in a creamy paprika sauce. We've suggested serving this speedy midweek meal with mashed potatoes but you could try it with pasta, rice or fresh vegetables. See method

Add the peppers and onion to the pan and cook over a moderate heat for 2-3 mins until softened, then add the paprika and continue to cook for 2 mins more to cook the spice well. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil, stirring well to get all the flavour from the base of the pan, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 mins.
Add the sour cream and stir well, then return the chicken back to the pan and cook for further 2-3 mins until piping hot.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
