I'm looking for a recipe. I think it might be Hungarian or Romania.?

Question

Does anyone know the recipe for chicken papikosh?

I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled.

My dad used to make it, but he didn't right it down on paper.

He passed away 14 yrs. ago.

Answer 1

I don't know if this is what you are looking for but one of my daughter's friends is Romanian...and this is her mother's recipe:It is a family recipe so she apologizes for the lack of precise ingredients.

Season chicken pieces with salt & pepper and a little garlic powder(not salt) fyi:she uses drumsticks

Sauce: Melt butter in saucepan, add flour and cook to a light blond color...

then stir in chicken broth and milk in a 1:1 ratio(in other words if you use 1/2 milk you would use 1/2 chicken broth, add slowly and whisk the whole time as to avoid lumps.

Now she said you can add what ever herbs you like, and said that she puts in finely chopped onions into hers, because she put onions into everything:0) Also if you want you can add sour cream...she does

Okay...add sauce to chicken drumsticks and simmer...if sauce gets to thick..add more liquid.

She says she serves this over a stroganoff type noodle.

Herbs: parsely, chives, some people also use fennel,

Hope this helps........

Do you think that could be an alternate spelling for Chicken paprikash? There are loads of recipes for this on Google, here's one that looks quite appealing:

Answer 3

It's Hungarian: csirke paprikás (chicken paprika). It's verry delicious!

I found a site where you can find the recipe in English:

Answer 4

I think he probably inherited a recipe for paprikash that somebody left the paprika out of. They put sour cream in almost anything there (and it's good). Try it.
