Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 yellow onions
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 2 oz tomato paste
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 10 oz egg noodles

Method

  1. Brown the chicken pieces in the oil in a Dutch oven, then set aside.

  2. Cook the sliced onions and pepper in the same pot over medium heat until very soft, about 10 minutes.

  3. Take the pot off the heat, stir in the paprika and tomato paste so the paprika does not scorch, then add the broth.

  4. Return the chicken, cover and simmer 25 minutes.

  5. Whisk the flour into the sour cream, temper in a ladle of hot broth, then stir it into the stew and simmer 3 minutes.

  6. Boil the egg noodles and serve the stew over them.
