Chicken Paprika With Dumplings Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Set a large pot of water on to boil for the dumplings.
• De-fat, and tenderize chicken. Cut into bite-sized pieces. With oil, brown chicken in a large pan on medium-high heat (6-10 min).
• Add paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth to the chicken in the pan. Stir them to mix. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer and put a lid on and let simmer for 25 minute.
• In a container with a lid (tupperware is good) mix water, flour and sour cream for the chicken. Shaking the mixture aggressively is the best way to ensure a smooth mix. Set aside mixture for later.
• While chicken is simmering, mix all ingredients - eggs, flour, water, and salt - for the dumplings together in a mixing bowl. It should be a pretty thick, dry mix when you are done. If it's too gooey, add small amounts of flour until it is more dry.
• With water boiling, turn down the heat to low. Tip the mixing bowl until the dumpling dough rests at the edge. Using a dull knife (butter knife), slice the dough from the lip of the bowl into small blobs and into the pot. Continue this process until all of the dough has been used. This process takes about 3-5 minute Dipping the knife occasionally into the boiling water will prevent dough from sticking to it.
• Raise heat and boil dumplings for another 5-6 min or so.
• Meanwhile, the chicken should be about done simmering. Using a spoon, draw some of the chicken sauce and put it into the sour cream/flour/water mixture that you had set aside. This is important to prevent sour cream from curdling. Put the lid on and shake the mixture once more. There should be no flour or sour cream chunks in the mixture.
• Finally, stir the mixture into the chicken pan. Mix until consistent. Bring the sauce to a boil stirring occasionally for sauce to thicken.
• Drain the water from the dumplings.
• Usually, chicken and sauce are served on top of the dumplings.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Dumplings: Beat eggs until light. Add milk, water, butter and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes until it activates. Sift flour with salt & sugar. Add bread cubes to yeast mixture and stir in 1 cup flour at a time. When well mixed, knead well. Let rise 1 1/2 hours, in clean bowl in warm place. Turn dough into two loaves and let rise another 1/2 hour. Boil in two separate pots for 15 minutes, turn over and boil another 15 minutes. (DO NOT LIFT COVER UNLESS TURNING) Chicken: Saute onion in butter. Push onion aside and brown chicken sprinkling with a lot of paprika. Add carrot and eough water to cover 1/2 way. Simmer about 15 minutes and take out chicken and carrot and set aside. Add flour to sour cream, stir in about 1 1/2 cups broth mixture and simmer until thick. Salt to taste. Grate carrot and add to mixture. Return chicken to warm. Serve with dumplings.

Steps:

• Heat bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and paprika. Stir together and saute until onion is translucent. Add chicken pieces and pour water over all. Cook over medium heat for 1 hour, adding more water if necessary.
• Stir in tomatoes, reserving liquid. Stir liquid into a medium bowl with flour and sour cream; mix until well blended, then slowly add mixture to chicken, stirring constantly. Cook until mixture is thick.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Gradually stir in 2 1/2 cups of flour to make a stiff batter. Using two spoons, scoop out some batter with one spoon and use the second to scrap off the spoonful of batter into the boiling water. Repeat until several dumplings are cooking. Cook dumplings for 10 minutes or until they float to the top; then lift from the water and drain in a colander or sieve. Rinse with warm water.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and add chicken; cook until lightly browned, turning once. Add onion to skillet and cook 5 to 8 minutes more. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of water, and season with paprika, salt, and pepper; cook 10 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into sour cream; then slowly stir into the onion mixture remaining in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened.
• To serve, add dumplings to the sour cream/onion mixture, then spoon onto dinner plates adding a piece of chicken.
