Ingredients
- 2-4 chicken thighs skinless and boneless
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 50 g salted butter
- 1 white onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 red pepper finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon paprika I used sweet smoked paprika - a good quality paprika.
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 150 ml sour cream mixed in a bowl with 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 125 g egg noodles (2 nests of egg noodles)
- 7 g parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, a big pinch of salt, and grinding of black pepper. Give everything a mix and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Place a large pot on medium heat and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add in the marinated chicken thighs and fry on each side for 4 minutes until gold and caramelised, then remove from the pot and set aside (the chicken will not be cooked at this point, we're just searing it for a bit of colour and flavour).
- In the same pot, add in the butter, onion, garlic, and red bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Fry for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Then go in with the 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 2 tablespoon paprika and stir to combine.
- Once aromatic, pour in the chicken stock. Then pour in the yogurt and flour mixture. Stir to combine until the sauce is smooth. Add the chicken thighs to the pan, bring to the boil, then reduce to simmer with the lid on for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the chicken thighs and set aside. Add the noodles into the stew and cook according to packet instructions (usually around 4-6 minutes). Taste and season the stew with more salt and pepper if need be.
- Once the noodles are cooked, divide the noodles between 2 bowls. Spoon over the stew sauce and then top with sliced chicken thighs and parsley. Enjoy, my friends!
