Chicken Paprikash #RSC

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. Chicken Paprika has been around for a very long time. My version is a little bit different. By adding a few more ingredients "Chicken Paprikash" is a whole new experience that everyone raves about. The smoked paprika is hot, so you are warned! The artichokes are a nice surprise. It is easier to cut up the chicken if it is put in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Served with rice or noodles and a green salad, it is a complete meal. Enjoy!
