This easy stewed chicken recipe, "Paprikash chicken" is a special one that my mother taught me :)  The version here is adapted from this book: Art of Hungarian Cooking.  Serve it over pasta and don't forget an orange (49¢/lb) for dessert!

Approximate total cost: $7.96 for two or $3.98/person + pantry items.

Chicken Paprikash

2 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp paprika

1 tsp. black pepper

1 - 1.5 cups water

4 to 5 lbs chicken thighs or legs (only 99¢/lb!)

1/2 pint sour cream

Brown onion in butter, add seasoning and chicken; brown 10 minutes.  Add water, cover and let simmer slowly until tender.  Remove chicken; add sour cream to drippings in pan and mix well.  Heat through and serve with chicken over pasta.
