     If you are Bohemian like I am or some other ethnic like Slovak then this is really not Chicken Paprika. It would be served with dumplings egg or potato. It would not have bell pepper in it. While the yogurt is good, sour cream would have been used. I would leave out the peppers. - 2/19/13

     Very good, but it needs more paprika. Next time I make it, I will increase the amount. - 4/16/17

     Why would you use a rice that is pretty much devoid of nutrition? I am amazed as the supposedly healthy recipes that tout such garbage. This stuff has been so processed that anything nutritional in it has been removed. I will try the chicken but use a healthier grain alternative. Deb - 2/19/13

     I will definitely make this again but I will probably double up the sauce as it wasn't saucy enough for us. Thanks!! - 1/30/13

     I served this with egg noodles instead of the rice. Was delicious and something different for my family. - 4/11/17

     This was fast to make! As a vegetarian I used the chickpeas suggestion instead of chicken. Double or triple the broth, double the paprika, and use the entire 6 oz tub of yogurt.
    S. cream would also be good. I usually make 1 c of brown rice with 1/2 c of quinoa for more protein but had noodles tonit - 4/12/16

     Definitely need to increase the paprika - I use almost a whole bottle of fresh paprika, add half to the chicken while raw and let sit a bit, then add half with the onions. I also doubled the onions and left out the peppers. A dab of tomato paste perks up the broth. And noodles, only noodles! - 1/25/15

     tasty, just added a bit more smokey paprika and a dab of tomato paste as suggested below. Wondering why people are upset about brown rice, it is very nutritious. - 4/11/16

     My father in law used to make a dish very similar to this & it was a family favourite. My husband loved it. He wondered how I got this recipe since his dad passed away several years ago. - 9/10/15

     This was very tasty and I was able to cut the ingredients so I only made two servings. This was helpful as I live alone and don't want to eat the same thing more than a couple of times. - 12/31/13

     I tried to make this from memory last night and didn't remember the chicken broth. I used turkey kielbasa for the meat and pasta instead of rice, but I give the recipe a big thumbs up! - 1/27/13
