Introduction
My husband is part Czech so this is a favorite family dish. I entered it in to see how healthy it actually is, and considering I listed half the salt it calls for in the original recipe for the dumplings, it isn't too bad for a person on a salt restricted diet.

Tips
This is a delicious and hearty chicken paprika. Instead of adding butter to dumplings, we like to cool them immediately under cold water. This sets the dumplings well and gives them a good firm consistency.
Directions
In a 6-quart pot, saute onion in butter; add paprika. Add chicken pieces and brown for 10 minutes. Next, add enough water to cover chicken, cover pot and cook about 3/4 hour until chicken is tender. In a separae bowl, blend flour, milk and sour cream. remove 1/2 cup chicken broth and add to sour cream mixture. Add this to chicken. Simmer an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
DUMPLINGS: In large mixing bowl, combine all ingrediens to form eleastic-consistency dough. Beat well. Drop by taspoonfull into large pot filled 3/4 full with boiling water and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook about 5 minutes. When dumplings float to top, remove with strainer into separate bowl. Add butter.
Serve chicken and gravy over dumplings.
Serving Size: Serves approximately 6
