Hungarian Paprika Chicken

November 11, 2008 by Joy the Baker 41 Comments

On any given day my diet is consistently composed of scrambled eggs (seriously the perfect food), some variety of baked goods fresh from the oven, cheese (lots of cheese) and tea (I drink so much I run out of mugs).

Have I mentioned that I love scrambled eggs?  I’m convinced that the perfect way to eat them is in tortillas, standing in the sunny spot in my kitchen flipping through cookbooks.

But this post obviously is not about my love for the egg.

There are days that I decide to slow down, take a deep breath and make myself something other than scrambled eggs for dinner.  On those days I go for my no frills, yet somehow impressive Hungarian Paprika Chicken dish.  It’s flavored with sweet Hungarian Paprika, onions, tomatoes, and the added creaminess of a touch of sour cream.  Served it over a bed of buttery egg noodles, and the world is instantly coming up roses.

Everyone should have a no fail chicken recipe in their back pocket.  This is mine.  From my stove top to yours.

As a note, I think the big red tin of Hungarian Paprika is the only way to go with this chicken.  You should be able to find it in your local grocery stores,  it’s not a fancy pants thing.

Go say hello to the boys at Foodproof for my recipe.  It’s a winner, I cross my heart.

    I know this is old and you might not see it but foodproof seems to be no more; can I find the recipe anywhere else? I found it because I’m making your chicken pot pie with cream cheese and chive biscuits tonight and this was suggested to me by “You Might Also Like” and it looked good. :)

    As a Hungarian, I’m saying: Hungarian paprika is worth to try!!! We season so many of our dishes with paprika (soups, stews, etc). It’s an amazing spice. You can have sweet one and spicy one too.

    Thank you Joy for cooking this Hungarian meal! I’m proud of my culture!
