"The perfect Hungarian comfort food. Serve over my posted nokedli recipe. This recipe has been passed down in my family for generations. I use Better Than Bouillon chicken base to make the broth."

  1. How much chicken do I use? Feeding four eating seconds should I double the recioe?

  1. Very creamy, delicious, and mildly spicy, a dish that is true comfort food, just as advertised. I did wait to add the paprika until the onion was tender, since the parika tends to burn easily. I would definitely make this again! Thanks!

  2. This is SO so good. So good. Tastes a lot like the version I had in Budapest... I was amazed at being able to replicate that at home. I used bone-in chicken thighs, plenty of salt, and increased the onion and paprika a bit. A PERFECT recipe that I'll make again and again. I wouldn't change a thing. This is one of those dishes that you keep thinking about long after you've made it.

  3. Yay finally an authentic Hungarian Chicken Paprikash recipe. I have seen so many using tomatoes. I'm 100% Hungarian and this is how we make it. The only things I do differently is after I sauté the onions I remove it from the stove and stir in the paprika and then add your broth or water usually water is enough because you are using chicken with skin and bone. Simmer a few minutes add the chicken cover and simmer until done. I remove the chicken and stir the flout right into the sour cream and add this slowly to a little of the broth in a bowl to temper it it so it doesn't curdle then add it right into the rest of the gravy and cook until thickened. I also make nokedli or I have used cavatelli or just wide egg noodles. Good recipe. Now I know a lot of people will cringe but the real Magyars (Hungarians) eat the skin and chew the chicken from the bones.

  4. This was delicious and very moist! However you certainly don't want to cover the chicken with broth as it'd make way too much liquid. Just use the two cups of broth and it'll be fine.

  5. This was fabulous! I did leave out the cayenne pepper (due to young children) otherwise made as written. Thanks for posting.

  2. Very nice dish thoughrouly enjoyed and very filling! Everyone enjoyed! I just used chilli powder instead of red pepper as I already had this but still tasted good. Thanks for the recipe.

  3. We enjoyed this dish and I love the smoked paprika which really adds so much flavor. I did add some cream to thin the sauce a bit. I wasn't sure how much reserved flour to add to the sour cream and may have added too much; therefore, the cream really helped the consistency of the sauce. Served over rice instead of noodles. Made for Cooking Tag Mania, October, 2013.

  4. Good advice from Sue L about the adding of the paprika after softening the onion. I used 6 plump chicken thighs and substituted simple hot chilli powder for the cayenne (arguably the same thing) and doubled the quantity since I'm accustomed to spicy food. The result was superb.

Update: My mother, BoxO'Wine passed away on April 23, 2009 after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful cook and is greatly missed. I am the DD that she has mentioned here quite frequently and have decided to continue her account. I also use RecipeZaar quite frequently as I learned about it from her. I strive to make her recipes; however, they will never be the same. I am also leaving all her own biographical information in here that she had.Genuine Jersey Girl here. Lived here all my life with the exception of a short stint in the Bay Area/San Francisco. Married to the same guy for over 40 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My son lives in Georgia (he talks funny) and my two daughters live near me in New Jersey. I am a retired politician, but I still have a real job. Looking forward to full retirement in about 2 yrs or so and if my children don't force me into the "home" I will be spending my social security checks in Atlantic City casinos. I have chemically enhanced blonde hair which is currently spiked to match my weird sense of humor and beverage du jour. Obviously I am a wino. White please, preferably chardonnay.
