Notes

Chicken Paprikash is often made with chicken thighs or whole chicken breast, using bone-in chicken. You can do this instead of cutting up the chicken if you prefer. The cooking time will just be longer.
Traditional chicken paprikish uses tomato paste, this recipe doesn't but if you like, you can add in a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste into the sauce.
If you prefer a little heat in your food, use hot Hungarian Paprika instead of the sweet Hungarian paprika. You could also add in some chili powder or cayenne pepper.
