Author Notes
Weirdly, perhaps, I got curious about Chicken Paprikash while I was rewatching the Marvel Studios movie “Captain America: Civil War” (maybe not as much as people went out to figure out shawarma after the first Avengers movie, though). This is a hybrid that is mainly inspired by the youtube “Cooking with Oma” making her version of the dish.
