Homemade Method - Grace & Frankie's Paprika Chicken (Meal Plan #19 of 2024) *VIDEO
In the popular show Grace & Frankie, Grace is often heard pining for a bowl of her mother’s “Chicken Paprikash”. Also known as Paprika Chicken, this Hungarian dish features tender pieces of chicken in a rich and creamy paprika sauce. (No wonder Grace is always craving it!)

In our healthier version, we are eschewing the traditional ingredients of lard, heavy whipping cream, and sour cream, in favor of tangy Greek yogurt. And you can be sure we’ve snuck some veggies in there too! This meal is super comforting and flavorful, and thanks to the addition of zucchini, tomatoes, onion, and parsley - it’s also wonderfully nourishing.

This recipe is freezer-friendly and tastes even better on day two. We love to serve it with a handful of spinach and some fluffy brown rice to soak up the creamy sauce.
