Chicken Paprikash from Olga K
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 1â„2 cups plus 2 tbsp. flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1â„4 cup canola oil
1 (3-4-lb.) chicken, cut into 6—8 pieces, skin removed
2 tbsp. sweet paprika
1 Italian frying pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, peeled, cored, seeded, and chopped
1 large yellow onion, minced
1 1â„2 cups chicken broth
3â„4 cup sour cream
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Bring an 8-qt. pot of salted water to a boil. In a bowl, whisk 2 cups of flour and 1 tsp. salt; form a well in the center. Add egg and 1â„2 cup water to well; stir to form a dough. Knead in bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Using a teaspoon, scoop walnut-size portions of dough into pot. Boil dumplings until tender, 6—8 minutes. Drain dumplings and rinse in cold water; cover with a tea towel and set aside.
Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Put 1â„2 cup flour on a plate; dredge chicken; shake off excess. Heat oil in a 6-qt. Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning once, until brown, 8—10 minutes. Set chicken aside. Add paprika and half the peppers, along with the tomatoes and onions, to pot; cook, stirring, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and broth; boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, turning chicken once, until fully cooked, 12—15 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp. flour and sour cream; whisk in 3â„4 cup of sauce from pot. Stir sour cream mixture into sauce in pot. Remove from heat. Melt butter in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat, add dumplings and parsley, and cook, tossing occasionally, until hot, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken garnished with remaining peppers and dumplings on the side.
Pairing Note Serve this dish with an acidic white wine that cuts through the sauce's richness; try the 2007 -Senftenberger Piri Riesling from Austria ($25). –David Ros
