Mom's Chicken and Dumplings

==Description==
This was a staple at our house when I was growing up. My mom made this about two times a month and often had to double the dumplings! Since my mom is not good at exact measurements, I tried my best to recreate this great one pot meal from her verbal instructions. She calls this Chicken paprika, but I am told it would have to have sour cream in it, and it doesn't, which is fine with me. 
===Ingredients===
* 4 lbs Chicken thighs, skin removed (boneless thighs if you can find them) 
* water 
* 2 small onions, chopped 
* 1 tablespoon butter or oil 
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
* 1 teaspoon salt 
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
* 1 tablespoon paprika 
Dumplings 
* 2 cups all-purpose flour 
* 1/2 teaspoon salt 
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
* 1 teaspoon paprika 
* 1 large egg, beaten 
 water 
===Directions===
* In a stock pot or dutch oven saute onions in butter until tender. 
* Add water until pot is about 1/3 full. 
* Add Chicken thighs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika. 
* Make sure water is covering the Chicken, if not add more until it just covers. 
* Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes. 
* In the meantime, make the dumplings: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium bowl until combined. 
* Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and about 1/4 cup water. 
* Stir and add more water by the tablespoon until you have a sticky dough that just leaves the side of the bowl. 
* In a different large pot from Chicken, boil water. 
* Drop dumpling mixture by the teaspoon into the boiling water. 
* (I use a regular teaspoon from my flatware, not a measuring spoon.) If dumpling mix is too sticky to drop from spoon, then dip the spoon into the boiling water, the dumpling should slide right off. 
* When dumplings start floating on top, remove them with a slotted spoon or drain them. 
* You may have to reduce the heat to see when they are floating. 
* About 30 minutes before Chicken should be done, add the dumplings to the pot with the Chicken. 
* After 30 minutes, you should have a delicious dish. 
* the Chicken should be tender enough that it is falling off of the bone and the dumplings should have made a thicker sauce out of the liquid the Chicken was cooking in.
