Boneless Chicken Paprikash-ish
Tucker Shaw
PUBLISHED July 28, 2025
My version of paprikash is non-traditional in many ways (boneless chicken, a mix of sweet and smoked paprika, and the addition of cayenne for punch) so I call it Boneless Chicken Paprikash-ish. Feel free to substitute olive oil for all the butter in this recipe, it’s just as delicious. I use two kinds of paprika for a more complex mix of flavors, but it's also delicious with four tablespoons of sweet paprika. If your skillet doesn’t have a cover, simply lay a square of foil over the simmering mixture and press it down lightly (don’t crimp it tightly shut). This recipe serves four, or two with just enough leftovers for the ensuing pie.
