How to Make Amazing Hungarian Chicken Paprikash With Dumplings

  1. 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.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in sweet and hot paprika, and garlic; cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add carrots and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious homemade Hungarian Chicken Paprikash!
