Cook the vegetables 5 minutes then mix them together with chicken and season with smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Stir in stock and tomato sauce and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 5 minutes then stir in sour cream and turn off heat. Add parsley. Adjust seasonings, to your taste.
• While chicken goulash cooks, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Salt boiling water and cook gnocchi until they puff up like pillows and float, 5 minutes or to package suggestions. Drain gnocchi and add to chicken just after you stir in the sour cream.
• Ladle goulash with gnocchi into shallow bowls and garnish with chives.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Gradually stir in 2 1/2 cups of flour to make a stiff batter. Using two spoons, scoop out some batter with one spoon and use the second to scrap off the spoonful of batter into the boiling water. Repeat until several dumplings are cooking. Cook dumplings for 10 minutes or until they float to the top; then lift from the water and drain in a colander or sieve. Rinse with warm water.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and add chicken; cook until lightly browned, turning once. Add onion to skillet and cook 5 to 8 minutes more. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of water, and season with paprika, salt, and pepper; cook 10 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into sour cream; then slowly stir into the onion mixture remaining in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened.

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH WITH GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Skin the chicken pieces if the butcher did not do it for you; then season liberally with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in flour and shake off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, in large Dutch oven over medium-high to high heat. Add 4 pieces of chicken and brown them on both sides; then remove to a plate. Add another tablespoon EVOO and brown remaining chicken pieces. Reserve all the browned chicken on a plate.
• Reduce heat under pan a little and add 2 tablespoons butter. Add peppers, onions and garlic to butter. Add 2 tablespoons flour and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Cover pot and cook 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

SPICY CHICKEN GNOCCHI

Steps:

• For the gnocchi dough: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roast the potatoes until fork tender, about 1 hour, then let cool. When the potatoes are just warm to the touch, scoop out the insides into a food mill and mill into a large bowl. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, pepper and egg yolks and gently incorporate. Add the flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough just comes together. Turn out the dough on a floured surface and knead the dough, working quickly, until the dough loses its stickiness and becomes more solid. Shape small portions of the dough into long ropes 1/2-inch wide and cut with a knife into 1/2-inch-long squares. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi in batches, stirring gently once or twice to ensure that they are not sticking. Boil until they float to the surface, then drain and set to the side.
• For the garlic cream: In a stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the garlic and simmer until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the cream, salt and pepper and simmer on low heat, occasionally stirring, for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, start the gremolata: Rough-chop the Italian parsley and sun-dried tomatoes, then add to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest and garlic. Set to the side.
• To finish: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large oven-safe sauté pan, add the clarified butter and heat to medium-high. Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with the Blackening Seasoning and add to the pan. Sear each side for 3 minutes, then finish in the oven for 3 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into 4 pieces.
• Add the gnocchi and Gorgonzola cheese to your simmering garlic cream sauce and let cook until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Place the blackened chicken on top and garnish with the gremolata, green onions and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Stir together the paprika, sugar, cayenne, granulated garlic and onion, salt, black pepper, white pepper, oregano and thyme in a small bowl.
