Ingredients for 4 servings:

For the Chicken Paprikash:

- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream

For the Dumplings:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken broth to the pot and stir to combine. Return the chicken thighs to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. While the chicken is cooking, make the dumplings. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the milk and melted butter and stir until a dough forms.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the pot with the chicken paprikash. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
7. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Serve the chicken paprikash with dumplings hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chopped chives.
