Chicken Paprikas

I came home from Budapest with a wide selection of Hungarian paprika that I was eager to put to good use. I also arrived back with an aversion to grocery shopping and a case of jet lag that made me hesitant to cook. Fortunately for me, I found this recipe and it did not require a trip to the store. It came together quickly and easily and had a nice flavour. I served over rice. I cut the broth in half and subbed 1 tsp hot paprika for 1 tsp sweet paprika and was happy with the result.
