Chicken Paprikash

By chicx4

Ingredients

• Dumplings:
• Cooked chicken of your choice
• 2 cups onion
• 1 stick butter
• 4 tbsp. Hungarian paprika (I use half Hungarian and half smoked)
• 1 quart (4 cups) half & half
• 16 oz. sour cream
• 1/2 cup flour
• Seasoning salt and pepper
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Cook chicken of your choice (I like to cook a whole chicken in the crockpot and shred it). Melt butter and saute onions. Add paprika and stir until blended. Add the salt, pepper, (I add about a cup of the liquid that the chicken cooked in to this also). In a blender, prepare a thickening of flour and 1 cup of the half & half. Add remainder of the half & half to the pan. Stir in the chicken. Add sour cream. Heat, but do not boil. Serve over dumplings.

Dumpling directions:
Mix the ingredients until well blended. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead four or five times and dived dough into two parts. Roll out one piece of dough to 1/8" thick and cut into strips. Place into a large sauce pan that you have placed 8 cups of water and chicken base (or bouillon cubes). Cook dumplings until just above done and strain and set aside. Cook the rest of the dumplings in the same way.
