Hungarian Chicken Recipe

Hungarian Chicken Recipe Hungarian Chicken Recipe photo by Taste of Home Rating 5

Ever since I made Hungarian Chicken for the first time (after coming across it in an old church cookbook), it's been a family and company favorite. Seconds are always requested. My husband, our three children (4, 2 and 4 months—quite an active group!) and I live in a very small town in the Texas panhandle. We enjoy working outside the yard or our small garden. But, to tell you the truth, I think I'd be content in the kitchen all day!

A little different than my grandmother's recipe, but very delicious. I recommend using Hungarian paprika.

This recipe has become a favorite in our house. It seems someone asks for it every other week. Lately, I have been using cubed chicken and even leftover chicken. It is still just as delicious. Remember to adjust the cooking times if using smaller sized or boneless pieces.

Very good recipe. The only changes I would make next time, would be to take the skin off the chicken, and to a corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce after. Kids loved it!

This dish is a keeper, my whole family enjoyed this meal and I have picky eaters in my family. I made this dish a week ago and I already crave seconds.
