Chicken Paprikash
Chicken paprikash ( or ''csirkepaprikás'') or paprika chicken is a popular Hungarian cuisine dish of Austrian and Hungarian origin and one of the most famous variations on the ''paprikás'' preparations common to Hungarian tables. The name is derived from paprika, a spice commonly used in the country’s cuisine. The meat is typically simmered for an extended period in a sauce that begins with a roux infused with paprika. Preparation The dish can be prepared using ''édes nemes'' (sweet) or ''csípős nemes'' (spicy) paprika; it adds a rosy color as well as flavor. Sometimes olive oil, sweet red or yellow peppers, and a small amount of tomato paste are used. The dish bears a "family resemblance" to goulash, another paprika dish.
