Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 May 1917 — Paprika Chicken. [ARTICLE]

Paprika Chicken.

Clean and prepare fat chicken as for roasting; make a good stuffing of bread crumbs, chopped onion, herbs to season to taste, binding together with the yolks of two or three eggs. Stfiff the fowl with it; tie on the breast slices of salt pork and lemon, then wrap and tie the whole in stout waxed paper. Place in a casserole (or any tight-covered baking dish), add enough chicken or veal stock to cover it, and one clove, a whole onion and some chopped parsley. Put the lid on and cook in a hot oven an hour. Strain the sauce then, add one cupful of hot cream, the yolk of an egg, one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of minced parsley and sufficient paprika to give not only a delicate flavor, but to tinge it pink. When the chicken is quite done (cooking it with this sauce as much longer as necessary to make it tender) serve it with the sauce poured over it and bordered with hot boiled rice.
