What is Chicken Paprikash?

It is a traditional Hungarian dish also made in the Czech Republic, that is originated from Eastern Europe. It is mainly famous because of its authentic and original paprika used, then it is modified with other ingredients like butter, lard, onions, sour cream, and garlic to make it more flavorful.

Keto chicken paprika – Important Tips

Saute – Saute the chicken first for a flavorful aroma when it combines with paprika.

Cream – Always, try to add room temperature sour cream and add it slowly. Avoid adding cold sour cream to a hot liquid or it will curdle. For the heavy cream, you can use coconut cream as dairy-free option.

Paprika – Get an authentic and original Hungarian paprika if you can, because this recipe is all about paprika. Spend more on a good brand of paprika.

Chicken – I used skin-on and bone-in chicken drumsticks and thighs for more flavor, but it needs a slightly longer cooking time. Or, use skinless and boneless chicken thighs instead.

Additional spices – Add spices like cumin, Moroccan seasonings, cayenne, garlic, and onion powder. This is optional.

Store – Pack them in airtight containers and store them in the fridge for up to 5-6 days.
