Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Add Paprika
Remove the pan briefly from heat and stir in the paprika to prevent burning.
3. Simmer
Add chicken pieces, tomato, and bell pepper.
Pour in chicken broth, season with salt and pepper.
Cover and simmer for 35–40 minutes until the chicken is tender.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, mix sour cream with flour and a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce from the pot.
Stir the mixture back into the pot and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Prepare the Dumplings
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, eggs, and enough water to form a thick batter.
Drop small spoonfuls of batter into boiling water.
Cook 2–3 minutes until dumplings float, then drain.
6. Serve
Spoon chicken paprikás over the dumplings and garnish with fresh parsley.
🇭🇺 Tip: Traditional Hungarian paprikás tastes best with authentic sweet Hungarian paprika and a generous spoonful of sour cream for that signature creamy sauce.
