About
Chicken Paprikash is a hugely popular Hungarian dish that makes the most of both chicken and its primary spice, paprika. The latter adds smokiness and warmth, and the chicken brings... well, juicy, tasty chicken! The sauce surrounding it is creamy, tangy, and infused with poultry goodness, making this meal hearty and satisfying all around. Chicken Paprikash is wonderful served with homemade dumplings or egg noodles, or simply enjoyed on its own!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons paprika or Hungarian paprika, divided
