Ukrainian Chicken Paprikash – Recipe and Technique

Chicken Paprikash - finger licking good!This Chicken Paprikash recipe has been tucked away in my “recipes to try” file for some time now.  So when I came across it today, I knew it was time to  give it a try.

I was a very lucky recipient of this recipe,  several years back, from a very sweet Ukrainian grandma, who’s granddaughter was in a youth group, which  I was heading at that time.  We were discussing special times grandparents share with their grandchildren, and this young lady was very proud of her grandma, teaching her how to cook, and Chicken Paprikash was one of her favorites.

I had fun reminiscing today, and at the same time the dish turned out to be very tasty, indeed.

If you like the taste of caramelized onions, or French Onion Soup, you will absolutely love this Ukrainian Chicken Paprikash.

I am definitely adding it to my collection of “favorite recipes”, to prepare again for my family and friends.

Quick, easy, and delicious.
