Scale
- 1 package chicken breast
- 1 package chicken thighs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons garlic
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 package of medium egg noodles
Instructions
- You will need two large pots for this recipe.
- Heat a 4-6 quart pot over medium high heat. Chop up the chicken breasts and thighs into bite size pieces. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pot. Place half of the chicken in an even layer in the bottom of the pan.
- Brown for around 4 minutes. Remove browned chicken pieces from the pot and place on a plate to use later. Add the other half of raw chicken to the pot and brown for around 4 minutes. Once browned remove the chicken and place on the same plate as the previous chicken pieces.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 4 tablespoons of butter to the pot. Once the butter has melted add the onions and garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Saut? for about 2 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the paprika, flour, and tomato paste. Stir this mixture until the flour is completely absorbed. Pour over 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir until there are no lumps, and then add the remaining 5 cups of broth. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
- Turn the heat back up to medium high and bring the mixture to a violent simmer. Reduce the liquid down until thickened. It might take up to 20 minutes.
- While you are waiting for the sauce to thicken, in a separate pot start boiling some water for the egg noodles. Prepare the noodles as instructed on the package.
- Once the sauce has thickened thickened add the chicken along with any juice back into the pot.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and add 2 cups of sour cream. Taste and add remaining salt and pepper as needed.
