How to Make Mom's Chicken And Dumplings Chicken Paprika
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 4 cups of water to the pot.
- Add 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1-2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste), 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1-2 tablespoons paprika (adjust to taste).
- Ensure the water completely covers the chicken; add more if needed.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the chicken simmers, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack 1 large egg into the well and add 1/2 cup water.
- Stir until combined. Gradually add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a sticky dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- In a separate large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
- Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the boiling water. If the mixture is too sticky, dip the spoon in the boiling water before dropping each dumpling.
- Reduce heat as needed to prevent vigorous boiling. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- About 30 minutes before the chicken is finished simmering, add the cooked dumplings to the pot with the chicken.
- After 30 minutes, the chicken should be tender and falling off the bone, and the dumplings will have thickened the sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
