poultry essentials: kickin’ chickin’ paprikash
The journey of this recipe began in Sopron, Hungary at a wonderful mum-and-pop restaurant I discovered many years ago. Now, all these years later it has morphed into this… A very traditional paprikash recipe with a few additions. For example, the hot sauce is NOT traditional, but oh so good. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make poultry essentials: kickin’ chickin’ paprikash
-
1PREP/PREPARE
-
2You will need a good-sized skillet, large enough to cook the chicken, and prepare the sauce.
-
3The Chicken I will let you pick your own chicken, thighs, breasts, legs, bone-in, boneless, skin on, naked, whole or diced… up to you. Whatever you choose, you will need about a pound. I sautéed, two good sized chicken breasts with some butter, salt, and pepper, then diced them. My suggestion is that since the chicken is going into the sauce and cook for a bit, you do not want overcook it at the start. My chicken had the slightest hint of pink, but after 5-minutes in the sauce it was completely cooked through, tender and juicy.
