Gather @chicken thigh{900%g}, @sweet paprika{3%tbsp}, @chicken stock{300%ml}, @all-purpose flour{1%tbsp}, @egg{2} and @all-purpose flour{250%g}.

Brown the chicken thighs in @lard{2%tbsp} over medium-high heat until golden on both sides, then remove and set aside.

Soften the @onion{2} in the same fat until translucent, about 8 minutes; pull the pot off the heat and stir in the paprika. ~{8%minutes}

Return the chicken to the pot with the @bell pepper{1}, @tomato{1} and stock; cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. ~{30%minutes}

Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, dumpling flour, @salt{1%tsp} and enough water into a thick, sticky batter; press small pieces through a colander into a pot of boiling salted water and lift out once they float, about 3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Lift the chicken out of the pot; whisk the reserved flour into the @sour cream{200%ml}, then stir it into the simmering sauce and cook gently 3–4 minutes until it thickens. ~{4%minutes}

Return the chicken to the sauce to warm through.

Spoon dumplings into bowls, ladle chicken and sauce over, and finish with a light dusting of paprika.
