Stir in the broth and sugar and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and vinegar. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread if desired!

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.

PAPRIKA CHICKEN STEW WITH POTATO PIEROGIES

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pierogies.
• Meanwhile, place a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add the bacon and cook until just brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the skillet with the bacon, and brown all sides, 7-8 minutes. Add the onions, carrots, garlic, paprika, cumin, marjoram or oregano, and bay leaf and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the veggies are just tender.
• Make a well in the middle of the pan and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the flour to the olive oil and mix to form a paste. Add the wine (or 1/2 cup chicken broth), scraping up all of the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add 2 cups chicken stock and the tomatoes and cook for about 20 minutes, until the stew has thickened. Stir in the sour cream and remove from the heat.
• While the stew is cooking, cook the pierogies in boiling water according to the package directions. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and cook until the butter turns slightly brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Drain the cooked pierogies, add them to the pan, and cook until slightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chives and turn the pierogies to coat.
• Serve the stew in large bowls, sprinkled with lemon zest and parsley. Arrange 2-3 pierogies on top of each bowl of stew.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over high. Cook chicken, skin side down, until golden and crisp, 6 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until browned, 6 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot and reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until beginning to soften, 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add paprika and flour, season with salt and pepper, and stir constantly until paprika is fragrant and mixture begins to stick, 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil over high. Return chicken to pot in a single layer, skin side up, and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain noodles and divide among four bowls. Top with chicken. Stir sour cream into sauce, then ladle over chicken and noodles.

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.

KAREL'S CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring every few minutes, until the onions are nice and brown and the oil has been absorbed. Add the butter and paprika, followed immediately by the 1 1/2 cups water (paprika turns bitter when burned, so be sure to add the water quickly). Add the pepper and salt and turn the heat down to a low simmer.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and slowly place the chicken, one piece at a time, into the pan, being careful not to crowd (cook the chicken in batches if your pan isn't large enough so that the pieces don't overlap). Don't touch the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn each piece to allow the other side to brown. Once the pieces are brown, transfer them to the sauté pan holding the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine the flour with the remaining 2 tablespoons water and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the flour mixture to the chicken mixture while gently stirring. Bring just to the boiling point, then turn off the heat. Gently stir in the cream, sour cream, and ajvar. Spoon over the dumplings and serve.
