My Mother's Famous Chicken Paprika

Chicken Paprika

3 pound frying chicken, disjointed or chicken parts
2 onions sliced
3 tablespoons oil
2 Tablespoons paprika
1-teaspoon salt

The following ingredients are optional as per the recipe:
1 tomato
1 green pepper
1-cup sour cream

Wash and drain the chicken. Sauté the onions in the oil until they are soft and translucent but not brown. Add the paprika and stir into the onions and cook for one minute. Add the chicken and sprinkle with salt. Cover and cook slowly for about an hour, or until tender. Spoon out some of the gravy and mix it into the sour cream so that it is possible to pour this mixture into the cooked chicken. Stir and continue cooking for about two minutes. Serve with freshly cooked noodles or rice.

The above is the traditional method of cooking this dish, but I often add cut up tomato and green pepper after I add the chicken to create a dish with more vegetables.

Here is the Soft Noodle Recipe

2 cups flour
3/4 cups water
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt

Have a large pot of boiling water ready.
Mix all the ingredients until well blended. It will be a soft dough. Put a portion of the dough on a wet breadboard and cut with a wet knife into about 1 inch wide pieces and push them off into boiling salted water. They are done when they rise to the top. Skim them off put them into a serving dish to accompany Chicken Paprika.
