Hungarian Chicken Paprikás (also called chicken paprikash or paprika chicken) is a very traditional meal served in Hungary. Paprika is a very common spice used in Hungarian cuisine and this dish is one of the most famous uses of the spice.
This keto chicken paprikash is a recipe that’s close to my heart. As a child, I spent a lot of time around my Grandmother. My mom’s mom was a mix of Hungarian and Slovak and her kitchen reflected that every day. The smells of frying onions, garlic, paprika, and cabbage were never far off.
This Chicken Paprikash is made from a few very simple, real food ingredients: chicken, onions and garlic, chicken stock, paprika, flour, and cream. Some cooks will add tomato paste or chopped tomatoes, whereas others argue that authentic chicken paprikash doesn’t contain any tomatoes.
