  • “I thought this unique version of Chicken Paprikash was delicious.I had never had this dish with orange juice and peas in it before and thought these ingredients complimented the dish very nicely. Easy to prepare,clear instructions, filling, and tasty results. Notes: I used real sherry rather than cooking sherry (which I find too salty) and I also used freshly squeezed orange juice rather than the concentrate, as that was all I had on hand.I would repeat these changes as everything worked out perfectly.(See photo).”
