Chicken Paprikash
2 medium frying chickens, cut up Spaetzle
1/4 lb. butter 2 cups a-p flour
2 medium onions, chopped 2 beaten eggs
salt and pepper salt
paprika
water
1pint sour cream
Melt butter in a large skillet. (I use my electric skillet) Add onion; saute until tender. Add chicken to pan. Turna and season pieces on all sides with salt and pepper to taste and a generous sprinkling of paprika. Brown chicken on all sides, then add 1/2 inch of water to pan. Cover and cook over medium heat 1 hour or until tender, adding hot water if necessary, and more paprika if desired.
Meanwhile, prepare spaetzle. Beat eggs well. Add flour and enough water to form a sticky dough, mixing until dough leaves sides of bowl. Drop by 1/2 tsp. into a pot of boiling water. Boil 15 minutes, uncovered. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water and set aside.
Remove chicken from skillet; set aside but keep warm. Cool liquid mixture remaining in skillet. Stir in sour cream. Add spaetzle and chicken. Heat through, without boiling. Season with additional paprika to color mixture a light orange.
I usually double or triple the spaetzle recipe because dh and ds can't get enough.
