The Campodonico Family’s Hungarian Chicken Paprikash has been passed down through generations. Read more recipes from the Wildwood Family Cookbook here. Bon Appetit!
This one was literally passed down from my grandma, who was always a “pinch of this and a pour of that”. Such a great goulash-y, winter comfort food!

- Add A LOT of Paprika. Salt and pepper to taste.
- *For a little kick, add a touched of cayenne pepper.*
- Cover all and simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
- Vegetables will release some liquid. You can cook without lid to reduce, but leave some broth. OPTIONAL: When cooked, you may remove some broth and veggies and blend to use as additional sauce.
- To thicken sauce, use a different bowl to mix a small amount of broth with 1 tablespoon of flour. Add the mixture to the whole pot and stir.
- Serve with sour cream for a real Hungarian dish along with homemade spätzle, egg noodles or rice.
- Also good on the side, a classic Hungarian cucumber salad, Uborkasalata.
