🇭🇺 Hungary recipe

Chicken Paprikash

Chicken Paprikash is the quintessential Hungarian home-cooked meal, where bone-in chicken pieces are gently braised in a luscious sauce of caramelized onions, generous amounts of sweet paprika, and tangy sour cream. The result is a velvety, rose-colored sauce that clings to every piece of tender chicken, traditionally served over nokedli dumplings.
