My husband is an Idaho boy and he grew up on a lot of meat, potatoes and gravy type of food.  Swiss Steak with gray, roast with gravy, etc.  I don’t usually cook that way, but with this chicken paprikash recipe, I feel like I meet him halfway. He loved this dish!  In fact he ate it for leftovers several times during the week and each time he commented on how much he liked it.

Chicken Paprikish, also known as Paprika Chicken, is a Hungarian dish.  It is a delicious chicken dish with a sour cream “stroganoff” style sauce.  The sauce is not too heavy or rich and this recipe was more flavorful than any stroganoff I have ever had.

Ingredients Needed

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Seasoning, I used regular paprika but Hungarian Paprika would be better. You will also need Marjoram, Garlic Powder Salt and Pepper.
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Onion
  • Bacon
  • Olive Oil
  • Flour
  • Chicken Broth
  • Sour Cream

How to Make Chicken Paprikash

  • Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Cook bacon in a pan over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add in onion and pepper. Cook for 3-4 more minutes.
  • Mix together flour, paprika, marjoram, salt and garlic in a plastic bag. Add the cut up chicken and shake to coat chicken on all sides.
  • Cook the chicken in olive oil until chicken is browned, about 6 minutes.
  • Add in bacon mixture and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Stir and reduce heat and allow to simmer until chicken is cooked through. About 10 minutes.
  • Add sour cream and parsley to chicken mixture and reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 more minutes.

Traditionally, it is served with spaetzle, egg noodles or even rice. You need something to soak up the yummy gravy that it makes.

Garnish with a little additional fresh flat leaf parsley to dress it up a bit and add some nice color.

    I saved this recipe from awhile ago. I made it tonight and it is AWESOME! So easy to make. I followed Sheila’s suggestion by using the rest of the flour left in the bag to thicken up the sauce while it was simmering. It made a nice thick, creamy, delicious sauce!
    Thank you so much for posting the recipe Leigh Anne.

    Yum! I made this recipe last night and we loved it! I am trying to cook a new recipe each week and this was our choice for this week. It was easy and very yummy. Definitely on our list for a repeat.
    I would like to share the recipe on my blog and wanted to be sure it was okay to link back to you.

    Thanks!
