Prepare the Dumplings: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and water.
Make Dumpling Batter: Gradually stir flour into the egg mixture to form a stiff batter.
Cook the Dumplings: Using two spoons, drop spoonfuls of batter into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top and are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Drain and Rinse Dumplings: Remove dumplings from the water and drain in a colander. Rinse with warm water to prevent sticking.
Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and brown on both sides.
Sauté Onion: Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-8 minutes.
Braise Chicken: Pour in water, and season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Remove Chicken: Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
Make the Sauce: Stir flour into sour cream until smooth. Slowly stir the sour cream mixture into the onion mixture in the skillet.
Thicken Sauce: Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Combine Dumplings and Sauce: Add the cooked dumplings to the sauce and stir to coat.
