Paprikash Chicken with nokedli

Chicken Paprikash, also known as Paprikás Csirke in Hungarian, is a traditional Hungarian dish that features chicken cooked in a rich creamy paprika-based sauce served with egg noodle dumplings. It has been enjoyed in Hungary for centuries, likely dating back to the 18th or 19th century. A reflection of the peasant origins or Hungarian cuisine, chicken paprikash was made from simple and available ingredients like chicken, onions, sour cream, and paprika. Older, tougher chicken could be utilized because the low and slow cooking time ensured tender meat and the end result was a dish that was both hearty and delicious. This is Hungarian comfort food at its best, a symbol of Hungarian culinary heritage, and has since become popular throughout the world.
