Chicken Paprikash

I was actually kind of nervous to try this recipe out. I'm not sure why, it is actually really simple to put together. I have had this on my "to make" list for a few months and finally decided to go with it. I think my hesitation came from being completely unfamiliar with Hungarian cuisine. Absolutely no experience. But I like chicken, paprika and onions, so I figured I would like this. And I did! I love how the chicken nearly falls off the bone after it is done cooking. Also, the sauce over the egg noodles was delicious. It kind of reminded me of Swedish meatballs, which is another favorite of mine.
