I followed the recipe but it did not turn out like yours. My noodles were a disaster
I'll make this in honor of my Magyar ballet master (of blessed memory); his descriptions of his boyhood in Hungary were magical.
Really good recipe for paprikash. The tip for adding flour to the sour cream is fantastic. I also like a variation on this by adding thinly sliced fennel with the onions and using crème fresh instead of sour cream.
I grew up on Buckeye and have been eating at Balatons since 1965. Also have been making chicken paprikash since I was a teenager. I have never put tomatoe in the sauce.
Oliveoil, butter, sour cream, but throwing away the best of chicken, the skin
Thank you! I was here for the spaetzle…the chicken dish looks really nice too.
PS. I would only trust you for the best recipes 😉
I would have liked to seen the chicken browned off in the skillet and render the fat out of the skin making the skin crispy. Then I would have cooked my veggies and reserve the chicken to the side and continued with the recipe
love America's Test Kitchen watch on tv and now here
Couldn’t wait for my spaetzele insert to come. Sadly, it was a huge failure and I’m not sure why. I followed the recipe exactly but the dough was too thick and it started cooking on top of the insert before I could press it through. Yes, I used cold water on the scraper and the insert. I ended up abandoning the insert and making gnarly dumplings. Tasted fine but super disappointing. Especially since I need to make several pans of haluski for an event next month. 😢😢
I'd have to join something to see the recipe. Bummer. It does look good.
That spaetzle is a nightmare, It sticks to everything. I tried the cold water. but the noodles came out puffy. they werent good at all. I got the spaetzle pan to. They tried climbing out of the hot water pot. the chicken was good. Ill try serving it with noodles. I watched this video about 30 times
I think it is pronounced shpayzel.
I made this last night and my boyfriend went cuckoo over it! I didn't have sour cream so I used Fage nonfat Greek yogurt and it was so amazing! There's only two of us so the rest went in meal prep containers for lunches this week. Thanks Bridget!
I have a gluten free family member. Would it be preferable to thicken the sour cream with corn starch or GF flour substitute??
This looks good. I have to try it out. 🥰
Everytime I see your name on the screen, at first I see the name Burt. Don't know why.
This is a good presentation:)
One word: Yum 😃
I really like this channel, but as a hungarian who likes to cook this recipe is an abomination. I'm sorry but it is wrong on so many levels.
The moment she pulled out the spaetzle insert, I paused the video and ordered one!
Definitely want to try making this sometime
This is going to be for dinner soon! The paprikash looks good, but the real star for my money is the spaetzle. So easy to make and so versatile! Now I've gotta get one of those spaetzle doodads….
Perfect fall dish thanks Bridget !!!
This is a wonderful recipe and as always you make it look so simple to make. I followed everything and it made a beautiful dinner. I did add half of another red pepper as mine was not as large or red as yours.
I also used bone in chicken breasts so my family would enjoy it more but I also used the thighs for those of us who love the depth of flavor. Thank you for this and so many ideas for food. It’s one of the most challenging aspects for me as I love to cook but need new challenges that Taste excellent and offer excellent nutrition.
