Hun Chicken Paprikas Recipe

(Hungarian chicken paprikás recipe with Dumplings)

Paprikás csirke, or "paprika chicken," is one Hungary's most famous dishes. Chicken is simmered in a paprika-flavored sauce until tender and sour cream is stirred into the sauce to enrich it. Traditionally served with home made dumpling. If you're not up to make dumpling you may serve it with elbow macaroni.

Chicken Paprikas Variations

Some recipes call for mushrooms to be added with the stock.

Use a little hot paprika along with the sweet to add a little spice to the dish.

Use boneless, skinless chicken breast for a lower fat version.

Some recipes have the flour stirred into the sour cream and then whisked in and simmered at the end to thicken the sauce. Others add no flour at all. I think the version above works best.
