Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour (for dumplings)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (for dumplings)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Season chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sear them skin-side down in the skillet until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the paprika and flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.

Step 7

Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir in the beaten egg and water until a sticky dough forms.

Step 8

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough into the boiling water. Cook the dumplings until they rise to the surface (about 2-3 minutes) and are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 9

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet. Stir the sour cream into the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.

Step 10

Return the chicken to the skillet and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the chicken and sauce over the dumplings. Garnish with additional paprika or parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
