Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup water. Mix until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Drop the dumpling dough by 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon amounts into the boiling water, dipping the spoon in water between drops to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook dumplings until they rise to the top, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
  5. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until tender and translucent.
  6. Stir in paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Add chicken parts to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  8. Add chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until chicken is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  9. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon flour and 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
  11. Gradually stir the sour cream mixture into the skillet juices over medium heat.
  12. Simmer gently, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil vigorously to prevent curdling.
  13. Serve the chicken topped with the paprika sauce and accompanied by the homemade dumplings.
