Preparation

• Onion base: Warm fat in a wide pot. Cook onion with a pinch of salt 10–12 min until soft and sweet; add garlic 30 sec.
• Bloom: Take pot off heat; stir in sweet (and hot) paprika 20–30 sec. Return on low; add tomato paste and bell pepper 1–2 min.
• Stew: Add chicken, stock, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently, covered, 30–35 min until chicken is tender.
• Noklice batter: Whisk eggs, salt, and oil. Stir in flour; loosen with water to a thick, spoonable batter. Rest 10 min.
• Cook noklice: Remove chicken to a warm plate. Keep stew at a gentle simmer. Using two small spoons, drop 2–3 cm nuggets of batter into the pot; cook 5–6 min until set and fluffy.
• Finish creamy: Whisk a ladle of hot sauce into sour cream to temper, then stir back in off heat. Return chicken; simmer 2 min (do not boil). Adjust salt/pepper and discard bay.
