This one-pot Hungarian chicken paprikash dish comes together in 1 hour and is served with a delectable creamy sauce to go over the top. The flavors in this recipe will absolutely blow you away.
Chicken Paprikash or also known as paprikas csirke in Hungarian is a traditional dish consisting of chicken and onions cooked in bacon fat and then braised in liquid with paprika and other vegetables and seasonings. The sauce is then thickened with sour cream and flour mixture and commonly served with nokedli.
This is a one-pot meal that comes together in about 1 hour and is perfect for a weeknight meal but also has enough uniqueness to serve to guests. I also believe the addition of browning the chicken and using chicken stock enhance my recipe above the traditional one.
