This Chicken Paprikash dish is a traditional Hungarian
dish. It is basically paprika chicken. I made a variation of the
many recipes I came across for this dish. You would traditionally serve Chicken Paprikash with galuska/nokedli
(Hungarian dumplings) but I don't have a spaetzle maker. I served
the Chicken Paprikash over egg noodles since I already had them. I need
to buy a spaetzle maker soon! This would be great over rice too.
The sauce is so delicious that you will want to drink it too. Chicken
Paprikash is a perfect comfort food for fall. Next time I will try to
make a more traditional version of this dish with the galuska. Enjoy!
