Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine 1 cup flour and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour mixture.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; add chicken, and cook until golden, turning once. Add additional oil, if needed. Remove chicken from Dutch oven, reserving drippings in Dutch oven.
Step 3
Cook onion and garlic in drippings, stirring constantly, until tender.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon flour, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly; gradually add broth, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Add chopped basil and next 4 ingredients; bring to a boil. Return chicken to Dutch oven; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
Step 6
Remove chicken from Dutch oven, and keep warm.
Step 7
Combine 2 cups flour and whipping cream in a large bowl, stirring with a fork (mixture will be dry and crumbly). Gently pat mixture into 2-inch balls, handling dough as little as possible.
Step 8
Bring broth mixture to a rolling boil; add dumplings. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, without stirring, 7 - 10 minutes or until dumplings are firm in center.
Step 9
Remove broth mixture from heat. Stir in sour cream, if desired. Serve dumplings and broth over chicken, and garnish, if desired.
NOTE: Adding the sour cream makes this broth creamy - like a Hungarian style dish. The texture is more traditional without the sour cream.
