Chicken and Mushroom Paprikaš | Pileći Paprikaš s Gljivama

This recipe originally comes from Croatia's Hungarian neighbours, and is now a staple of Croatian cuisine. The key ingredient here is ground paprika (I think you guessed that in the name). With this recipe I only used sweet paprika, but you can mix it up and use one tablespoon of sweet and either smoked or hot paprika depending on your preference. I should have at least used half a tablespoon of some hot paprika to give it some kick.

You can make this recipe with larger chicken pieces, like Marylands or just thighs, or a whole chicken cut up into pieces. You can also use meat like beef or venison (venison is amazing) or fish. I will make a fish version in the coming months. Enjoy!
