Method

  1. Preparation: wash the thighs, peel the onion4 and carrot3; dice the onion finely, carrot into 1 cm cubes, peel the potatoes2 and cut into large chunks about 4 cm; peel and finely chop the garlic6; grease the multicooker insert with a small amount of oil.

  2. Frying: on Fry mode, fry the thighs for 8 minutes until golden; then remove them from the bottom of the insert.

  3. Add vegetables: to the thighs add the chopped onion4 and carrot3, fry on Fry mode for 4–5 minutes until the onion base is soft, stirring to prevent sticking.

  4. Combine ingredients: return the chicken1 to the insert, add the potatoes2 in large chunks, sour5 cream, garlic6, paprika, salt to taste and pour in 100 ml of water; mix until the sauce is evenly distributed.

  5. Simmer: switch to Stew mode for 45 minutes, lid closed; check for doneness by the tenderness of the potatoes2 and juiciness of the chicken1.

  6. Serving: serve hot straight from the pot; garnish with herbs if desired and serve with bread or rice.

Tips

Why it works
Fry the chicken first so it browns and stays juicy; undercooked chicken will be pale and rubbery inside.
Substitutions
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (same amount) for a tangier taste. Swap paprika for ½ tsp smoked paprika for depth.
Common mistakes
Overcooking makes potatoes mushy and chicken dry; check at 35 minutes. Potatoes should pierce easily with a fork.
Storing and reheating
Lasts 3 days in the fridge; reheat in the multicooker on Stew mode for 10 minutes with 20ml water. Freeze without sauce for 3 months.
Serve with
Pair with crusty bread to soak up the sauce; serve with a simple green salad for balance.

In short

  • In the planner this dish is cooked for two days: reheat on day two.
