Chicken Paprikash

Paprikash is one of the most famous dishes from Hungary. In our version, chicken is cooked in a bold paprika-infused sauce, then finished with sour cream to create a tangy, creamy stew. Sweet paprika is a key ingredient, so make sure yours is fresh and fragrant. And for the richest flavor and a full-bodied consistency, opt for full-fat sour cream. Don’t be concerned if the sauce looks broken when you add the sour cream. As the sauce simmers and reduces, the cornstarch helps the sour cream emulsify into the sauce. Buttered egg noodles are the perfect accompaniment to this homey dish.
