    My picky 4 year old loved it. I thought it was bland, although the chicken was moist and cooked perfectly.

    Anonymous, I am happy to hear that this was picky eater approved! To give this dish a little more flavor for you, try using a smoked paprika, or adding some cumin, chili powder, or cayenne powder. You could also dip the chicken in mustard or mayo before dipping in the flour mixture for added flavor and to help keep the chicken moist.

    Very very bland. I took the reviewers suggestion by adding some cumin and cayenne but it didn't really do it any justice. Something could turn it around, not sure what though.

    I would add 1 tablespoon of hot mustard to the chicken broth and sour cream mixture to give it more flavor and maybe a little lemon juice too.

    I added Greek Seasoning and Garlic Powder (to taste) instead of the Paprika and ours was delicious!

    Sounds like a good idea, Michelle!

    Not very impressed. There was an odd flavor to our chicken and I don't know if it came from my broth or not. Unfortunately the family was not a fan of this one.

    @Stacy, don't know if this is what accounts for your family not liking it, but I can tell you that this recipe only uses about 1/4 of the paprika that we might use for chicken paprikash in Europe (and has less sour cream, too). Was the sauce on the thinner side? We probably would have used three times the sour cream.

    This may have been operator error on my part, but the chicken turned out a little underwhelming in flavor and the sauce was just gloppy.

    tastes great but be sure to use Hungarian paprika & be prepared to add more paprika to sauce than recipe called for. I had 3 lg split ckn breasts & put the meat side down in pan I doubled the sauce & happy I did . this recipe is a keeper

    I didn't have paprika, so I used an Italian seasoning with garlic salt and pepper. It had a really good flavor. The sauce was lumpy, but I think it is because I don't have a whisk and I used a fork.
    I will make this again.

    @Sara, you could use a little cayenne pepper (which can be hot, so use caution) or a mild chili powder, such as a mild New Mexico chili powder or cumin. You could even add some bell peppers or New Mexico hatch peppers (they are very mild).

    Ditto to Chef Leslie's comment--I love green bell peppers in something like this. Also like serving it over some delicate dumplings.

    I had this and it tasted awesome, though I added some rosemary to the chicken that I had. It tasted like turkey oddly enough
