How to Make Amazing Hungarian Chicken Paprikash With Dumplings
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
- Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in sweet and hot paprika, and garlic; cook for 1 minute more.
- Add carrots and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour and a little bit of the chicken broth to form a smooth paste. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the paprikash, stirring until thickened. Stir in sour cream and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare dumplings: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls onto the simmering paprikash.
- Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious homemade Hungarian Chicken Paprikash!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
