Chicken Paprikash

Recipe View Gather all ingredients.

Recipe View Make the dumplings: Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and 0.5 cup of water until well combined.

Recipe View Gradually stir in flour to make a stiff batter. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape but still be somewhat sticky.

Recipe View Scoop up a spoonful of batter and use another spoon to scrape it into the boiling water. Repeat until several dumplings are cooking in the pot, being careful not to overcrowd it.

Recipe View Cook until dumplings float to the top and are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander or sieve. Rinse with warm water to prevent sticking and drain again. Repeat to make remaining dumplings.

Recipe View Start the sauce: Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Recipe View Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Recipe View Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Recipe View Pour in 1.5 cups of water and season with paprika, pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.

Recipe View Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.

Recipe View Finish the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and flour until smooth and well combined. This will prevent lumps in the sauce.

Recipe View Add the sour cream mixture to the skillet and slowly stir to combine with the sauce. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe View Gently spoon the cooked dumplings into the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Cook until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe View Spoon dumplings, sauce, and chicken onto serving plates. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh paprika, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
