CHICKEN PAPRIKA

My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

FAMILY PLEASING CHICKEN PAPRIKA



Family Pleasing Chicken Paprika image

This is the recipe my Mom and I have made for years. I don't know where it originally came from, just that everyone seems to love it- I did growing up - and now my whole family does (always a plus to find a quick meal that my kids like that my hubby and I can enjoy eating too!!) Easy to round out with a green salad or veggie and roll or bread on the side. I have made this in a pinch for friends and they always rave thinking it took more time than it did to prepare. ;) Mushrooms are a great addition, simply add them in when adding the onions. I also like to stir in sautéed asparagus sometimes or frozen peas. ;)

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Paprikash

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for this dish, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This dish is typically made with onions, peppers, and tomatoes, but you can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or mushrooms.
  • Simmer the chicken until it is fall-off-the-bone tender: This will take about 1 hour.
  • Serve with egg noodles or mashed potatoes: These are classic accompaniments to chicken paprikash.
