Using farm-to-fork, simple ingredients, this hearty meal will leave your tastebuds happy and your stomach full.

Chicken Paprikash
One of Hungary’s most beloved comfort foods is Chicken Paprikash, a dish that features tender chicken smothered in a rich, paprika-infused gravy. You’ll often see this dish served alongside egg noodles or dumplings. The real star of the dish is the flavorful sauce, which gets its signature taste and aroma from paprika (a spice that is very special to Hungarian cuisine).
