Comfort food can take on many forms, but generally, comfort food seems to always have a bit of nostalgia attached to it. Foods from my childhood have become some of my favorite adult comfort foods, like Creamy Chicken Paprikash Over Buttered Egg Noodles. Chicken Paprikash is a Hungarian dish of chicken, cooked in a creamy paprika-flavored sauce. My mom used to make this Creamy Chicken Paprikash for us on cold winter nights, and always spooned it over egg noodles to make the most of the yummy sauce.
Now that it’s February, I think it’s the perfect time to share this childhood favorite recipe! Cold winter months are the perfect time to enjoy old comfort food favorites or to try new ones, like my take on Creamy Chicken Paprikash.
