Easy Hungarian Chicken Paprikash🇭🇺.

A true Hungarian classic 🇭🇺 — Chicken Paprikash (Paprikás Csirke) is one of the most comforting dishes you’ll ever make. Tender chicken simmered in a paprika-rich sauce, finished with sour cream, and traditionally served with nokedli (Hungarian dumplings) or buttered noodles. Simple, rustic, and soul-warming. 💖
