This Hungarian Chicken Paprikash Recipe closely matches the original Chicken Paprikash from Hungarian cuisine. The recipe requires very few ingredients and only takes time in simmering during which all the juices from the chicken absorb into the gravy and the chicken becomes very soft. You can make this recipe with chicken thighs which are used in typical Hungarian recipes.

½ cup butter
1½ tbsp Hungarian paprika
2 medium onions (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 lb chicken (large pieces)
Salt and pepper to taste

1 large green bell pepper (sliced)
