About
Perfect Paprika Chicken is a showcase of two distinct but beautifully intertwined flavors. There's the naturally savory and succulent poultry flavor of chicken and the smokey-sweetness of paprika, which blend in a delicious main course that you'll be thinking is magic! Of course, being cooked up with a mixture of tender roasted tomatoes and onions makes the Perfect Paprika Chicken all the better, too! Move over, PB & J, there's a new flavor combination in town!
