    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until softened. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    2

    Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Hungarian sweet paprika. Add the chicken thighs, diced tomato, and bell pepper, then mix well to coat the chicken.

    3

    Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.

    4

    Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and water until you have a thick but smooth batter. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into boiling salted water and cook until the dumplings rise to the surface. Drain well, then toss with the sheep cheese.

    5

    Once the chicken is tender, stir the sour cream into the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    6

    Serve the Chicken Paprikash with the sheep cheese dumplings, and garnish with fresh parsley.
