AMAZING HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH DUMPLINGS

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.

PAP'S CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Add the onions, cabbage and remaining paprika (2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons) and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and cook the roux, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, making sure there are no lumps.
• Return the chicken to the pan skin-side up. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and measures 160 degrees F, 20 to 35 minutes.
• For the spaetzle: While the chicken is cooking, bring a saucepan of water to a boil.

• Add the spaetzle to the chicken pan, stir in the sour cream and parsley if using and serve.

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.

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.

AUTHENTIC CHICKEN PAPRIKASH (PAPRIKáS CSIRKE)

Steps:

Add the garlic and tomatoes (and pepper if using) and fry another 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the paprika, salt and pepper (paprika becomes bitter if scorched).
• Return the chicken to the pot and place it back over the heat. Pour in the chicken broth. The chicken should be mostly covered. Bring it to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
• In a small bowl, stir the flour into the sour cream/cream mixture to form a smooth paste. Stir the cream mixture into the sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring it to a simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce is thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the sauce and simmer to heat through.
• Serve the chicken paprikash with Hungarian nokedli, which is like German Spaetzle only they're very short and stubby. You can make nokedli with a spätzle scraper and using this recipe for the dough.

HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• 1. If you have a pressure cooker, use it. If you dont, a regular big old pot will work just as well.
• 2. Place the oil and chopped onion in a big pot. Cook over medium/high heat until translucent. (You don't want them brown, just tender.) Take off heat. Add the paprika. Mix it well.
• 3. Put chicken parts in the pot and brown slightly with the onion/paprika mixture. (Do it in batches if you have to and add additional oil in small amounts if needed.) NOTE: I buy a whole chicken and cut it up myself. Make sure the chicken pieces you use are whole with the skin intact. It adds to the flavor.
• 4. Add water to almost cover chicken. Bring to a boil, and add chicken bullion cubes (a good rule is don't cube for every one cup of water... just eyeball it). Also, add the Lawry's seasoning salt (if available). Not necessary, but to me, is the secret ingredient. Grandma didn't tell us about that until we saw her add it one day! ;) Cover and simmer for 25 minutes with a regular pot, or about 15-20 minutes with a pressure cooker.
• 5. While the chicken is simmering, mix the sour cream, water, and flour together with a hand mixer or a Kitchen-Aid mixer. Whip it very smooth and set aside.
• 6. When the chicken is done, remove the chicken pieces to a colander to cool. Slowly add the sour cream mixture, a little bit at a time to the broth, stirring constantly to incorporate into the broth. OPTIONAL: You can de-bone the chicken or leave the pieces intact. I spoil everyone by skinning and de-boning it and adding it back to the sauce. Grandma always served the chicken pieces separate on a dish and whole. It is up to you how you like it. I always just went for the sauce over dumplings when I was a kid! ;)
• 7. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a mixer combine eggs, water, and flour and salt. Mix together to form a soupy dough. When water is boiling, scrape the dough into the water a spoonful at a time. This is easier if you dip the spoon onto the boiling water so the dough will not stick to the spoon. After you scrape the dough into the boiling water, they should cook for about 7 minutes. When they rise to the surface, they are done. Drain and rinse. It makes a lot of dumplings! But that is ok, they will be gone in no time!
• 8. Serve up a big helping of dumplings and pour sauce over them. Serve with the whole chicken pieces, or if you de-bone it, it will be placed in the sauce.
• 9. One of my favorite childhood memories is triggered when I make this recipe. All of my senses come alive... truly a wonderful comforting food!

• Heat the oil in a large pot, then add the onions and sauté them on medium heat for around 5 minutes until translucent. Stir regularly.
• Add the tomato pieces, stir them in, and sauté them for a few minutes as well.
• Turn down the heat to low. Add the paprika and a tiny splash of broth so the paprika doesn't burn (this would make it bitter). Mix everything together.

• Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and place the lid on the pot. Let the chicken paprikash simmer on low heat for around one hour. Stir occasionally.
• After 45 minutes remove the lid from the pot so that some of the water can evaporate and thicken the sauce a little bit. After the hour is up, see if the meat is tender and comes off the bone easily. If it doesn't, let it simmer for another few minutes until it is tender enough.
• Remove the pieces of meat from the pot and set them aside on a plate. Then stir the sour cream into the sauce and add salt as well as pepper to taste. If you want the sauce to thicken further, you can also dissolve some cornstarch in a little bit of cold water and add it to the pot as well. Bring everything to a light simmer and stir constantly until the sauce has thickened. Place the meat back into the sauce to reheat.
• Remove the chicken paprikash from the stove and serve with nokedli/spaetzle, other pasta such as fusilli, potatoes, or rice.
