My personal favourite is how you are "cheating" by subbing brown stock for a boulioun cube! :lol:

I mostly made your version:
butter & oil - I don't have lard
chicken thighs - they braise better than breasts
chicken stock - bullion???
creme fraiche - I had both, but CF seems to hold up better and have a little more complexity

But I stuck with all sweet paprika because that's what I had.
I prefer red pepper to green, since it's so much sweeter (and it doesn't seem to give me indigestion like green does).

I'm not a big potato fan, and was out of flat noodles, so I made spatzle to serve with it. It was perfect for soaking up all that sauce. SousChef asked me to double the amount of onion/pepper/sauce next time, so that she can pour it over bread for lunch. Yes. It was that good.

Bringing up an old thread for a question. I have never made chicken paprikash and was going to try Tim's recipe. I have is a tube of "paprika cream" from the Eastern European grocery, ostensibly for chicken paprikash, but all text on the tube is in Hungarian (or maybe Romanian). I have no idea what I am substituting it for in the recipe. The paprika? The bell pepper? Any have any ideas?

Oh, I have used that. Use it for the paprika, not the pepper. If I remember correctly (and it was a while back) it was a pit sharper than sweet paprika so taste a bit.

Tonight I made Tim's version {clicky}, subbing the paprika cream for the paprika. The paprika cream was a bit salty so I ended up adding one additional TBSP of paprika for color instead of adding more cream. I also immersion blended before adding the sour cream. My husband practically licked the plate.

I doubled the sauce (pre-sour cream) because the recipe looked so good and will freeze and have it again in another month or so. I am very glad I did because we really liked it.

Thanks, Tim!
