Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. shortening
1 Tbsp. paprika (sweet)
2 Tbsp. salt or less
3 to 4 lb. chicken, cut in serving pieces

Saute onion in shortening until golden.

Do not let the paprika scorch.
Add chicken, salt and pepper to taste.
Add water; mix well.
Cover and let simmer until tender.
Remove chicken; add sour cream to drippings in pan and mix well.
Heat, but do not boil, as this will cause sour cream to curdle.
Return chicken to pan and keep warm.
