  • 1 tsp - kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 2 1 ⁄2 cups plus 2 tbsp. - flour
  • 1 - egg lightly beaten
  • 1 ⁄4 cup - canola oil
  • 1 3-4-lb. - chicken, cut into 6–8 pieces, skin removed
  • 2 tbsp. - sweet paprika
  • 1 - Italian frying pepper chopped
  • 2 - to matoes peeled, cored, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 - large yellow onion minced
  • 1 1 ⁄2 cups - chicken broth
  • 3 ⁄4 cup - sour cream
  • 3 tbsp. - unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp. - finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
