Ingredients
-
10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (3.75 to 4 lbs.)
water
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter or oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon paprika
Dumplings:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg, beaten
water
Directions
1. In a stock pot or dutch oven saute onions in butter until tender.
2. Add water until pot is about 1/3 full.
3. Add chicken thighs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
4. Make sure water is covering the chicken, if not add more until it just covers.
5. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
6. In the meantime, make the dumplings: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium bowl until combined.
7. Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and about 1/2 cup water.
8. Stir and add more water, if need, by the tablespoon until you have a sticky dough that just leaves the side of the bowl.
9. In a different large pot from chicken, boil water.
10. Drop dumpling mixture by the teaspoon into the boiling water. (I use a regular teaspoon from my flatware, not a measuring spoon.)
11. If dumpling mix is too sticky to drop from spoon, then dip the spoon into the boiling water, the dumpling should slide right off.
12. When dumplings start floating on top, remove them with a slotted spoon or drain them.
13. You may have to reduce the heat to see when they are floating.
14. About 30 minutes before chicken should be done, add the dumplings to the pot with the chicken.
15. After 30 minutes, you should have a delicious dish: the chicken should very tender and the dumplings should have made a thicker sauce out of the liquid the chicken was cooking in.

I use breasts, cook the chicken and onions together with the spices. You need to use Hungarian paprika! I add a can of tomato soup and a can of chicken broth (no water) when the chicken is almost cooked. Then cook for 30min. Take off heat for 15min add half cup of sour cream (add flour to thinken) - 6/13/12
