Paprikash, Paprikash, Paprikash.

That word is so fun to say. Chicken Paprikash?is a Hungarian dish made with chicken and a lot of paprika. I always describe it to people as stroganoff, but with chicken and paprika instead of beef and mushrooms.

Chicken Paprikash is an old classic recipe. This comfort dish is great for family gatherings. | The Hungry Waitress this Recipe!

This creamy dish is served with dumplings or egg noodles. It is very important to use real Hungarian paprika. It is sweeter, and makes the dish more authentic. This is a treat for my boyfriend. He introduced me to this creamy, peppery chicken. His mom's family is Hungarian, and she makes?these authentic dishes all the time.
