Chicken Paprikash with Dumplings | WednesdayNightCafe.com

   Hungarian braised chicken with smoked paprika in a sour cream sauce is served over homemade dumplings. Picture the scene. It’s a summer night in Budapest, the Paris of the East.

Hainanese Inspired Chicken Rice | WednesdayNightCafe.com

   The Singaporean classic remade in one pot. Chicken thighs are braised over rice, infusing it with flavor. Round out the meal with stir-fried veggies. To avoid any confusion, this is not a recipe for authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice. I’ve made that before, using this recipe, and I wouldn’t try to improve on it. But, like…
