I didn't make the dumplings/ served over egg noodles, but added 2 TB butter to sauce since I wasn't using the dumplings. Like Julia says, butter makes it taste better!!

Ingredients

1 tsp. kosher salt (plus more to taste)

2 1/2 cups flour (plus 2 tbsp)

1 egg lightly beaten

1/4 cup Canola oil

3/4 lb chicken (cut into 6-8 pieces, skin removed)

black pepper freshly ground

2 tbsp. sweet paprika

Italian frying pepper chopped

2 tomatoes peeled, cored, seeded, chopped

1 large yellow onion minced

1 1/2 cups Chicken broth

3/4 cup Sour cream

3 tbsp. Unsalted butter

2 tbsp. flat-leaf parsley finely chopped


Directions

1. Bring an 8-qt. pot of salted water to a boil. In a bowl, whisk 2 cups of flour and 1 tsp. salt; form a well in the center. Add egg and 1/2 cup water to well; stir to form a dough. Knead in bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Using a teaspoon, scoop walnut-size portions of dough into pot. Boil dumplings until tender, 6?8 minutes. Drain dumplings and rinse in cold water; cover with a tea towel and set aside. 2. Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Put 1/2 cup flour on a plate; dredge chicken; shake off excess. Heat oil in a 6-qt. Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning once, until brown, 8?10 minutes. Set chicken aside. Add paprika and half the peppers, along with the tomatoes and onions, to pot; cook, stirring, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and broth; boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, turning chicken once, until fully cooked, 12?15 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp. flour and sour cream; whisk in 3/4 cup of sauce from pot. Stir sour cream mixture into sauce in pot. Remove from heat. Melt butter in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat, add dumplings and parsley, and cook, tossing occasionally, until hot, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken garnished with remaining peppers and dumplings on the side.

Pairing Note Serve this dish with an acidic white wine that cuts through the sauce's richness; try the 2007 -Senftenberger Piri Riesling from Austria ($25). ?David Rosengarten [I posted this recipe.]
