Best Chicken Paprika Dumplings Recipes

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (CHICKEN PAPRIKA)

Steps:

• In a stock pot or dutch oven saute onions in butter until tender.
• Add water until pot is about 1/3 full.
• Add chicken thighs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
• Make sure water is covering the chicken, if not add more until it just covers.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
• In the meantime, make the dumplings: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium bowl until combined.
• Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and about 1/2 cup water.
• Stir and add more water by the tablespoon until you have a sticky dough that just leaves the side of the bowl.
• In a different large pot from chicken, boil water.
• Drop dumpling mixture by the teaspoon into the boiling water.
• (I use a regular teaspoon from my flatware, not a measuring spoon.) If dumpling mix is too sticky to drop from spoon, then dip the spoon into the boiling water, the dumpling should slide right off.
• When dumplings start floating on top, remove them with a slotted spoon or drain them.
• You may have to reduce the heat to see when they are floating.
• About 30 minutes before chicken should be done, add the dumplings to the pot with the chicken.
• After 30 minutes, you should have a delicious dish: the chicken should be tender enough that it is falling off of the bone and the dumplings should have made a thicker sauce out of the liquid the chicken was cooking inches.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut chicken into 8 pieces, and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or a heavy frying pan that can go into oven. Sauté chicken over medium-high heat until pieces are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, and sprinkle with salt.
• Place onion in same pan, sauté until soft. Remove pan from heat, and let cool for 2 minutes. Stir in mild and hot paprikas.
• Return chicken to pan on top of onions. In a small saucepan, heat chicken stock, and stir in tomato paste. Bring to a boil, stirring until tomato paste dissolves. Pour over chicken.
• Place pan, uncovered, in middle of oven for around 30 minutes. Turn chicken every 10 minutes or so. Sauce will thicken.
• To make dumplings, mix flour with eggs and salt until a thick dough forms. In a saucepan, bring 4 cups stock to a boil. Drop dumpling dough by half teaspoons into stock, simmering for about 4 minutes. Dumplings are done when plumped up and firm. Drain, and stir them into chicken mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

• Heat oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven for 1 minute. Add chicken, skin-side down, and brown for about 5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and add celery, carrot, onion, garlic and paprika. Cook for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Add broth and water, then return the chicken to the pan. Pepper generously. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm the milk and saffron threads for one minute on stovetop over medium heat or in microwave. The milk will turn yellow. In a food processor, or with your fingers, quickly combine flour, baking powder, and shortening. Remove blade from bowl and gently mix in saffron milk. Gather dough into a ball and flatten it out into a 1-inch thick disk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until just 20 minutes before use.
• After dough has chilled, place it on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 rectangular pieces with a sharp knife. Just 15 minutes before serving, slip dumplings into the simmering soup. Cover and cook just below a boil until dumplings puff up and float to top. Carefully ladle some soup with 2 thighs and 3 dumplings into each bowl. Garnish with a little chopped parsley.
