"This dish is a love letter to the humble bell pepper. Juicy chicken thigh in a lusciously aromatic sauce full of paprika flavor, which goes perfectly with the buttery egg noodles. It basically screams comfort food! It is a Hungarian dish, traditionally considered for peasants. But it's the simplicity that makes this dish so satisfying. The sauce can also be prepared a day in advance, making it a great meal-prep dish."
