Chicken Paprikash with Buttered Spaetzli......another memory from my childhood......

Fall-off-the-bone chicken in a creamy paprika sauce served with fresh homemade spaetzli.....YUM...YUM...YUMMY....

Nobody could make Chicken Paprikash like my Hungarian grandma......even my dad's Chicken Paprikash could not touch it...

Traditional Hungarian Chicken Paprikash  is made using whole cut up chicken and sour cream and it takes few hours to prepare.

Well, I don't usually have a whole fresh chicken on hand I was out of sour cream as well and these days I don't have hours and hours to prepare dinner (sometimes I realize it's dinner time pass dinner time), but you can bet there is always few boneless chicken breasts hiding in my freezer or fridge.

So the other night I decided to make Chicken Paprikash my way (using boneless chicken breast and whipping cream)....quick.....easy....simple....ready in 30 minutes.

I served it with mashed potatoes....another quick alternative for buttered spaetzli.
