CHICKEN PAPRIKA



Chicken Paprika image

My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (CHICKEN PAPRIKA)



Mom's Chicken and Dumplings (Chicken Paprika) image

This was a staple at our house when I was growing up. My mom made this about two times a month and often had to double the dumplings! Since my mom is not good at exact measurements, I tried my best to recreate this great one pot meal from her verbal instructions. She calls this Chicken Paprika, but I am told it would have to have sour cream in it, and it doesn't, which is fine with me :) ****NOTE 1/15/08: I've adjusted the quantities of salt and paprika because depending on what kind of chicken you use, different amounts of water will be used, needing different amounts of spicing. You may also increase the pepper and garlic, if desired, but be careful as garlic should not be a dominant flavor in this dish.

Categories     Stew

Time 1h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lbs chicken thighs, skin removed (boneless thighs if you can find them)
water
2 small onions, chopped
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon paprika
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg, beaten
water

Steps:

  • In a stock pot or dutch oven saute onions in butter until tender.
  • Add water until pot is about 1/3 full.
  • Add chicken thighs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Make sure water is covering the chicken, if not add more until it just covers.
  • Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
  • In the meantime, make the dumplings: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and about 1/2 cup water.
  • Stir and add more water by the tablespoon until you have a sticky dough that just leaves the side of the bowl.
  • In a different large pot from chicken, boil water.
  • Drop dumpling mixture by the teaspoon into the boiling water.
  • (I use a regular teaspoon from my flatware, not a measuring spoon.) If dumpling mix is too sticky to drop from spoon, then dip the spoon into the boiling water, the dumpling should slide right off.
  • When dumplings start floating on top, remove them with a slotted spoon or drain them.
  • You may have to reduce the heat to see when they are floating.
  • About 30 minutes before chicken should be done, add the dumplings to the pot with the chicken.
  • After 30 minutes, you should have a delicious dish: the chicken should be tender enough that it is falling off of the bone and the dumplings should have made a thicker sauce out of the liquid the chicken was cooking inches.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chile flakes
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 cloves garlic, smashed
One 4- to 6-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

EASY CHICKEN PAPRIKA



Easy Chicken Paprika image

I got this recipe from a Campbell's soup can. I didn't have high hopes for it, because it is really simple. But my boyfriend and roommate loved it. And my boyfriend compliments my cooking very sparingly. (He is too honest LOL) But he was licking his plate clean! I doubled the ground red pepper (cayenne). The original recipe called for 1/8 tsp. but I used 1/4 tsp. Unless you really don't like any kick to your food, go with the 1/4 tsp.
