    I am Hungarian and make a similar recipe - except I add about 4 - 5 tbsp of paprika and no starch. It tastes great! Oh.. my mom would also add sliced (into coins) carrots - this is a great way to make sure the chicken is cooked well enough. - 7/26/10

    Very Good, will make again. I added 1 Tablespoon of tomato paste for color, otherwise did not change a thing - 1/17/10

    Bad
    I tried, it just is too far from the norm to be called paprikas. Paprikas is supposed to be made with dark meat with the skin on. It helps the sauce to adhere to the chicken. I found this very bland. - 4/16/09
