CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

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.

CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Season chicken generously on both sides with salt. Heat olive oil in a heavy, deep-sided pan (that comes with a lid) over high heat and brown the chicken well, skin-side down, about 5 minutes; flip and continue to sear until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and reserve until needed; spoon out excess chicken fat if desired.
• Add onions and a pinch of salt to the same pan and saute over medium until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and flour and cook, stirring, another 3 to 4 minutes to form a tomato roux. Stir in 1 teaspoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer chicken and accumulated juices back into the pan. Baste the tops with the sauce, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
• Skim some fat off the top of the sauce if desired. Whisk heavy cream and sour cream into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and any juices back into the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, basting often, until chicken is heated through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH SPAETZLE

Steps:

• OK let's be Hungarian.
• Firstly we don't call the dumplings "spaetzle" but I can't spell the word that Grandma always used so I've borrowed the German term. (I've since learned how to spell Nokedli.).
• Start by heating the oil in a large pot and browning your chicken parts.
• Remove the chicken and add the butter or margarine to the pot.
• Sauté the onion in the melted butter until transparent.
• Add paprika, chicken, and water, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes. (NOTE: I've learned over the years that using a 32 oz box of broth adds a lot of flavor to the dish.).
• Chicken should be very tender and about to fall off bones.
• Remove chicken to bowl.
• Add enough fresh water to pot to bring back to original level.
• Check flavor of broth.
• If flavor is weak add enough bullion to produce a well flavored broth. (SKIP this step if you used broth.).
• Bring broth to boil.
• Combine flour, salt, and pepper with eggs (the more eggs the richer the batter but two is OK) to form a thick batter.
• Now comes the tricky (and boring) part.
• Drop batter in boiling broth in 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon amounts until all batter is in pot and cooked.
• Spaetzle is cooked when it floats on surface.
• You may need to remove some to get it all in the pot.
• With all spaetzle cooked and in pot you now add your sour cream to broth. The amount is individual according to how creamy you wish the sauce to become (and how much water you started with).
• At this point I usually add about three tablespoons of flour mixed with one cup of water to thicken the broth. Sorry I omitted this step in the original submission.
• The sauce and spaetzle is the best part of this dish so be sure to make enough! They will be coming back for seconds on that part of the dish.
• One of the most surprising things about this dish is it actually tastes better the second day. Sooo if you are making it for a special dinner prepare it the day before and simply reheat it one half hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
• Mix butter and garlic together.
• Gently pull skin back on the chicken breast but do not remove. Spread 1/4 of butter/garlic mixture over meat.
• Pull skin back over, sprinkle paprika on the top of the skin, then place breasts on a baking tray lined with baking paper (don't need baking paper if using breasts on the bone).
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 with other 3 breasts.
• Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes (35 to 40 if on the bone).

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Fry the garlic in the oil for 1 minute then add the chicken and stir until white all over.
• Add the salt, pepper, onion and bell pepper and cook for a further few minutes stirring occasionally until the onion begins to soften.
• Add the paprika and chilli flakes, give it a good stir and cook for a minute to allow the flavour to mix then add the chicken stock and tomatoes.
• Bring to the boil then cover and simmer for 40 minutes stirring every now and then to avoid sticking.
• Take a few spoons of the tomatoey liquid, add it to the sour cream and mix with the flour before adding the mixture back to the pot, stir and simmer for a further 5 minutes and then serve hot with pasta or bread.

AUTHENTIC HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion until translucent.
• Add the green pepper, cook for 5 minutes or so, and add the mushrooms.
• Cook until the mushrooms are just softened.
• Add the paprika, caraway, pepper and salt (if you are not using salty stock, such as bullion cubes.)
• Stir and add the chicken thighs and mix.
• Add the tomatoes and enough stock to mostly cover the chicken.
• Cover and simmer slowly for approximately 45 minutes.
• The chicken should be falling off the bone, very tender.
• Remove the chicken to a deep serving plate that has been warmed.
• Reduce the stock a bit if it looks like it will be too much sauce.
• Mix some stock fully into the sour cream to thin it a bit, and then mix the sour cream into the rest of the stock.
• Heat until hot, but Do Not Boil.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve over buttered egg noodles.
• Miscellaneous Notes:.
• Use 8 thighs if very large. "Bone in" is great.
• Canned tomatoes are fine, as are bouillon cubes for the stock (in which case, don't add salt until the end, after you taste) and low-fat sour cream.
• The prep time includes chopping and sauteing the veggies, and making the sauce at the end.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a sauté or deep frying pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken and add to the pan. Fry for about 4 mins until browned all over. Lift out of the pan and set aside.
