Ingredients:
6 chicken thighs
1/2 medium onion
1 T paprika
1 C chicken broth
1 1/2 C sour cream
1-2 T flour
Directions:
Salt and pepper chicken and brown on the stove with a little oil. Add onion until transparent. Add paprika and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer covered on low for 30 min. Add flour to sour cream and stir into sauce. Cook for another 5 min. Serve over dumplings. (It really should be made with authentic Hungarian paprika, but it can be hard to find so don’t tell my dad I make it with regular paprika or he would have a fit. ha ha)
Dumplings
Ingredients:
2 C flour
1/4 t Salt
4 eggs
1/3 C water
Directions
Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Measure flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Combine water and eggs and stir. Add water and eggs to flour mixture and stir until well mixed. Dough will be fairly stiff but quite sticky. Using two spoons pinch and drop 1/2″ balls of dough into the boiling water. Dumplings will expand as they cook. They usually sink, and when they float to the surface they are done cooking. They don’t always sink; a dumpling needs approximately 3-5 minutes to cook depending on size. I think. Sorry this is so hard to explain, you all probably know how to make dumplings.
To freeze: There are two ways to freeze this. (1) Make paprikash sauce (minus sour cream) and let cool. Make dumplings and let cool. Label large and small freezer bags. Place chicken thighs in large freezer bag. Divide sauce into small freezer bags and place inside large freezer bag with chicken. Divide dumplings into small freezer bag and place inside large freezer bag. Seal large freezer bag and freezer immediately. (2) Cook chicken, make paprikash sauce (minus sour cream), make dumplings and let cool. Place in large freezer bag and freeze immediately.
To eat: (1) let thaw in fridge. Cook chicken and add paprikash sauce. Heat through and stir in sour cream. Heat dumplings on the stove. Serve over dumplings with a veggie. (2) Let thaw in fridge overnight. Heat in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in sour cream and serve with a veggie.
