HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH
Csirke Paprikas is the Hungarian term for this delicious dish. My mom has been making this for 35 years! Recently she went to visit Budapest and found this little cafe that served it. She liked it so well, she modified her recipe to closely match that, and here it is, enjoy! Serve over rice or egg noodles.

Steps:
- Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add chicken and tomatoes. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in paprika. Pour in 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup water and season with salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Remove lid and cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Mix sour cream and 1 teaspoon cold water together in a small bowl. Add mixture to the pot and stir until gravy is evenly colored and smooth. Return chicken to the pot, cover and simmer on low for another 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir flour and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix egg and water together. Gradually add flour mixture and stir together until dumpling batter is very thick and mixture breaks from a spoon.
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 teaspoons salt.
- Drop 1/2 teaspoons of dumpling batter into the boiling water. Dumplings will rise to the surface in about 1 minute; boil for 5 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer dumplings to a bowl. Repeat steps until batter is used up and all dumplings are cooked. Mix 1 teaspoon of butter with cooked dumplings. Add dumplings to chicken mixture in the pot and allow to heat through.

HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH
This Hungarian chicken paprikash is comfort food at its finest. It's a labor of love to prepare, but it is so worth every minute. The chicken falls off the bone. It's creamy and the dumplings absorb the simple and delicious flavors. A delicious dinner on a cold evening.

Steps:
- 1. If you have a pressure cooker, use it. If you dont, a regular big old pot will work just as well.
- 2. Place the oil and chopped onion in a big pot. Cook over medium/high heat until translucent. (You don't want them brown, just tender.) Take off heat. Add the paprika. Mix it well.
- 3. Put chicken parts in the pot and brown slightly with the onion/paprika mixture. (Do it in batches if you have to and add additional oil in small amounts if needed.) NOTE: I buy a whole chicken and cut it up myself. Make sure the chicken pieces you use are whole with the skin intact. It adds to the flavor.
- 4. Add water to almost cover chicken. Bring to a boil, and add chicken bullion cubes (a good rule is don't cube for every one cup of water... just eyeball it). Also, add the Lawry's seasoning salt (if available). Not necessary, but to me, is the secret ingredient. Grandma didn't tell us about that until we saw her add it one day! ;) Cover and simmer for 25 minutes with a regular pot, or about 15-20 minutes with a pressure cooker.
- 5. While the chicken is simmering, mix the sour cream, water, and flour together with a hand mixer or a Kitchen-Aid mixer. Whip it very smooth and set aside.
- 6. When the chicken is done, remove the chicken pieces to a colander to cool. Slowly add the sour cream mixture, a little bit at a time to the broth, stirring constantly to incorporate into the broth. OPTIONAL: You can de-bone the chicken or leave the pieces intact. I spoil everyone by skinning and de-boning it and adding it back to the sauce. Grandma always served the chicken pieces separate on a dish and whole. It is up to you how you like it. I always just went for the sauce over dumplings when I was a kid! ;)
- 7. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a mixer combine eggs, water, and flour and salt. Mix together to form a soupy dough. When water is boiling, scrape the dough into the water a spoonful at a time. This is easier if you dip the spoon onto the boiling water so the dough will not stick to the spoon. After you scrape the dough into the boiling water, they should cook for about 7 minutes. When they rise to the surface, they are done. Drain and rinse. It makes a lot of dumplings! But that is ok, they will be gone in no time!
- 8. Serve up a big helping of dumplings and pour sauce over them. Serve with the whole chicken pieces, or if you de-bone it, it will be placed in the sauce.
- 9. One of my favorite childhood memories is triggered when I make this recipe. All of my senses come alive... truly a wonderful comforting food!
HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKASH
My mom learned to make this tender chicken dish when she volunteered to help prepare the dinners served at her church. It's my favorite main dish, and the gravy, seasoned with paprika, sour cream and onions, is the best. -Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

TRUE HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKAS
This is a Hungarian dish that seems to be loved by almost everyone....the chicken is very tender and very flavorful and the sauce is one that is always soaked up by good french bread or hungarian bread.....althought there are many different versions of this made up by many different people......there is only 1 true Hungarian Paprikas. I come from a family of 7 generations of full blooded Hungarians, we eat , we talk and we all cook hungarian.....still to this day. So I will pass on this recipe from many generations of fantastic cooks and people. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Wash and cut up chickens into pieces. Heat butter in large skillet and fry chicken pieces till browned. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Pour off most of fat from skillet and add chopped onions and garlic, saute till tender, add paprika and cook for a minute, add salt and pepper to onion mixture. Add chicken broth and stir well to remove mixture from bottom of pan. In a large dutch oven or cooking pot, add broth mixture and bring to a boil, add chicken. Make sure there is enough liquid to just cover all the chicken (if there is not enough, then add some water or more broth.)Cook covered on low heat till chicken is so tender it will fall off the bones. Remove chicken to a platter when fully cooked. Combine flour and sour cream, mix into the pot, cook slow, stirring often until thickened and smooth. At this point if sauce is not thick enough, add cream slowly while still cooking on low until desired thickness. You want to achieve a sauce that is a consistancy of gravy, but not too thick. Once this is done you will need to make some dumplings as follows:.
- 3-C. flour.
- 5 eggs.
- 2 teaspoons salt.
- 1/4 C water.
- mix ingredients together until smooth. Drop batter by teaspoons into boiling salted water. Cook 10 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water. Serve on plates and top off with sauce and chicken. This can also be served with the traditional Hungarian Cucumber salad.
- Hungarian Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream:.
- 2 cucumbers.
- 1 lg clove garlic, pressed.
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- 2 T. vinegar.
- 1/2°C sour cream.
- Hungarian Paprika.
- Pare cucmbers and slice into thin slices, place in bowl,add garlic, toss with salt. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Drain cucumbers very well. Blend vinegar with sour cream and add cucumbers, mix well and sprinkle top with paprika generously, and serve.

HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKA
This is a recipe for Chicken Paprika, a recipe my father brought over from Hungary. It is simply marvelous. (It bears no relationship to Cacciatore.)

Steps:
- Sauce procedure: Cut whole chicken into it's constituent parts (breasts, thigh, etc.) and remove skin. Remove skin from thighs. (trim fat deposits and rinse all chicken thoroughly) This step is critical.
- Cut all chicken pieces in half. This exposes the crucial bone marrow. The more marrow you expose, the better the sauce. I chop the wings into 4 or five pieces. Do not add giblets and neck.
- In large pot, combine chicken, salt, Paprika, chicken base, and enough water to just cover the chicken pieces.
- Cook, partially covered, at such temperature that a simmer to very gentle boil is achieved. You want just a bit of bubbling.
- Do so until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and easily removed from the bone--About 1.5 hrs. (I cook the chicken until it is on the verge of falling off the bone. This extracts maximum flavor from the chicken.)
- Strain mixture to separate liquid and chicken. Place chicken into a warm serving dish.
- Return liquid to pot, and vigorously mix in sour cream and milk. I use a whisk for this. Carefully bring the sauce to a boil and remove immediately from heat. Failure to remove promptly will result in very messy boiling over!
- Set burner to it's lowest setting and return pot to the burner to keep sauce hot. The sauce is basically finished at this point. You may wish to fine tune by adding more salt, sour cream, Paprika, and/or chicken base. I sometimes add a 1/2 cup or so of heavy cream for added richness. You may also want to skim most of the liquid fat from the sauce surface.
- Noodles procedure: Combine flour, salt, and eggs in a hemispherical bowl large enough to accommodate mixing.
- Add about 1/2 cup water and proceed to blend ingredients with a fork until well blended. The consistency your striving for is such that the dough is clearly wet, adheres to the bowl, and is loose enough to slowly spread out when a dollop is applied to the cutting board. Add enough water to achieve this. I've never measured how much water I use, but think it's about 1/2 cup plus some. Actually, the consistency is not critical. I'm guessing you've made noodles (or dumplings) like this, and that additional, excruciating explanation is not necessary.
- Set a Dutch oven (good size pot) 2/3 full of water to boil. At this point, obviously the dough goes into the water. I place a good size dollop on a small cutting board and use a gently curved, sharp knife to cut perhaps 1/2" size blobs which are then vigorously swept off the board into the boiling water.
- They are done when they float to the surface. A perforated spoon is used to remove the noodles from the water which are placed in a warm serving bowl.
- I cut perhaps 3-4 dozen noodles, let them cook (very quick), remove, and proceed to add the next 3-4 dozen until all of the dough is consumed. If it looks like boiling over is about to occur, add some cold water.
- Finally: At this point you should have a pot of wonderful sauce, a bowl full of chicken pieces, and a bowl of noodles. For serving, place a good serving of noodles and half (maybe less) as much chicken into a flat bowl. Apply enough sauce to almost cover noodles and chicken.
- You may want to salt to taste. My wife likes pepper on it. I do not. In any case, Viola! That's it. I really want you to try this, as everyone on both sides of our family loves it. My instructions are laborious because attention paid to various details will produce a superb dish, while an average effort with average ingredients produce a result that is only very good.
