Recipe by Varga Csaba on FacebookAdded 11 November 2026.

15 minutes to prep, 20 to cook. A rich, creamy Hungarian‑inspired chicken dish featuring sweet peppers and a velvety parmesan‑sour cream sauce. Tender chicken, aromatic onion, and garlic create a comforting high‑protein meal perfect for dinner, served over rice or with crusty bread.

Method

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil; sauté the chopped red onion until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly, about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  3. Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are lightly browned and cooked through, roughly 5–6 minutes.

  4. Add the sweet peppers and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes.

  5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for 3–4 minutes to reduce slightly.

  6. Stir in the sour cream and grated parmesan cheese, mixing until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve the dish hot.

Tips while you cook

Sauté onion first
Cook the chopped red onion until softened (3–4 minutes) before adding garlic.
Brief garlic sauté
Add the minced garlic and sauté only about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce stock briefly
After adding chicken stock, simmer for 3–4 minutes to reduce slightly before the cream.
Finish sauce quickly
Stir in sour cream and grated parmesan and cook 2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
