👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and paprika, cooking for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pot, pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. The sauce should thicken slightly.

While the chicken is simmering, prepare the mămăligă. Bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until the mămăligă is thick and creamy. Stir in the butter.

To serve, spoon a generous portion of mămăligă onto each plate. Top with chicken pieces and sauce. Dollop with sour cream and garnish with fresh dill.
