This was a favorite when my brother and I were growing up in my parent's home. Mom (Busia) used whole chicken and probably margarine, whereas I prefer the thighs and breasts and only butter from grass fed cows. This is the only paprikash recipe using half and half (fresh from a neighbor's cow is ideal!) I know of. Most use sour cream. This is totally tasty, amounts of ingredients really to taste. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
