Hortobágyi palacsinta is a savoury Hungarian pancake filled with meat—most commonly a flavorful chicken paprikash. Originally served as a warm appetiser, it has become a popular main course in Hungarian households and restaurants.

The dish is made by cooking a simple chicken paprikash . Once the chicken is cooked, it is minced and used as a filling for thin pancakes. The pancakes are rolled up, ends tucked in, placed in a baking dish, and topped with a rich paprika and sour cream sauce (tejföl). Finally, they are briefly baked in the oven until heated through and lightly browned on top.

This is a traditional and much-loved Hungarian recipe, both hearty and full of comforting flavor.
