Jean Difilippo’s Chicken Paprikas with Dumplings

(pronounced pap ri kash)

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion (chopped)

4 tablespoons oil

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 ½ cups water

1 pint sour cream

Dumplings

3 cups flour

¾ cup water

3 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

Mix oil, paprika, salt and pepper in large frying pan. Saute chicken and onion until chicken is slightly brown. Slowly pour in water, partially cover pan and simmer until chicken is tender (approximately 30 minutes). Be sure to leave an opening for steam to escape so the sauce will thicken. Remove chicken and mix sour cream with the drippings. Stir in cooked dumplings and serve immediately.

Dumplings:

Mix all ingredients and either drop by teaspoonfuls in boiling water or roll and cut into strips, then place in boiling water. Boil approximately 10 minutes or until dumplings float. Drain well before adding to sauce.
