Chicken Paprikash Stew

"Chicken paprikash is a light, chicken and veggie, paprika-infused stew beloved in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. It’s a toss up between a stew and a thick soup, but thicker versions are perfectly fitting for a filling dinner. The name paprikash is derived from paprika, the red, deep, and smokey spice derived from different peppers. The type used in the Balkans is a milder version, and is generally called aleva paprika. (My best guess is that Alev used to be a brand name, so like we call all sponges Scotch-Brite, all paprika is called aleva paprika. If you know the exact origin of the name, leave a comment.)"
