With school and busy schedules revving up again, the need for fast dinners that you can pull off and everyone will love is even greater. I get tons of requests for recipes from readers every week — but for some reason, one that I’ve been getting a lot of demand for lately is chicken paprikash.Often you’ll find recipes for this classic Hungarian dish swimming in a heavy cream sauce, but by adding just a little more sherry wine than most recipes normally call for and then boiling it down until the sauce starts to thicken, a dollop of sour cream is all you need to make a healthier version.

And while this dish may seem too fancy to be fast and easy, trust me, it is.
