K Jon's Chicken Paprikash
This is one of my families favorite dishes. We serve it with spaetzle. one important note on paprika - it is absolutely necessary that you use good, sweet hungarian paprika for this. You use a lot of it and the quality of the paprika is essential to the end result - you cannot use any old mccormick’s stuff and expect this to taste good. Go outside and discover your closest eastern european grocer.
