Chicken Paprikas

The BEST dish on the entire planet! Truth - word to your mother - no lie guy. I am serious. Go make it right now and prepare to faint with delight and drool on the floor. I used to beg my Mother to make this often, especially on my birthday, where I would also beg for a Sanders Bumpy Cake
