Jos, we leave the snipped bacon in the pan while the chicken cooks. But now that you mention it, it might be good to take the bacon out and return it to the skillet just before dining.

This recipe came from a cookbook we bought in the Czech capital of Texas, a town whose name I forget. It had a tragic fire a few years ago.

When we visited (long before the fire), I took a picture of my husband standing in the bakery there, in front of a sign which said "Buchty are sold warm from the oven." The sign had white plastic letters on a black background and looked like a sign in front of a church. One got the feeling that one had better not ask for buchty NOT warm from the oven.   

For Czech music we have an LP of chamber music by little-known composers from Prague.

Steve: the Joy of Cooking forbids adding black pepper to dishes with paprika. The pepper overwhelms its delicate flavors.
