4. 4

   Once the chicken has browned, add one cup of the chicken broth to the pot and increase heat to high.

   Bring mixture to a simmer and continue cooking for another five minutes or so until the chicken is done.

6. 6

   Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.

7. 7

   Reduce heat to low and add the sour cream and flour to the one cup of simmering broth that is still in the pan.

8. 8

   Whisk well so there are no clumps and continue whisking and simmering until mixture is very thick.

   Add chicken back into the pot and stir well.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

13. 13

    Cut in the butter with your fingertips, working the mixture together until all butter has been incorporated.

14. 14

    Add milk and stir so a dough forms.

15. 15

    Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to 1/8th inch thick.

16. 16

    Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut thin strips of dough and then cut across the strips so you have small dough squares.

17. 17

    Drop dough squares into the boiling chicken broth and cook for about five minutes, until the dumplings float.

18. 18

    Drain (reserve the broth for another use if you like) and drop cooked dumplings into the chicken paprika mixture.

    Stir and serve.
