The ultimate meal to serve loved ones with, the chicken paprikash is a homely and inviting casserole dish with its roots tracing back to Hungary. Its rich flavour comes from a mix of tomato, smoked paprika, micro herbs and more, making every bite of chicken delicious and nostalgic at once.
TIP If you prefer, use 8 drumsticks and 8 thigh cutlets, or 16 drumsticks or 16 thigh cutlets instead of the marylands. We used a 25 cm x 33 cm oval cast iron casserole dish. Alternatively, use a large flameproof roasting pan, then cover tightly with baking paper and two layers of foil. Serve with buttered chargrilled sourdough or toasted crusty bread, if you like.Refrigerate chicken paprikash for up to 2 days. Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge, then reheat in a microwave.
