My mom learned to make this Hungarian chicken paprikash when she volunteered to help prepare the dinners served at her church. It's my favorite main dish, and the gravy, seasoned with paprika, sour cream and onions, is the best. —Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

1 large onion, chopped
1 broiler/fryer chicken (4 to 5 pounds), cut up
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
