2 cups arrabbiata pasta sauce
¼ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup plain yogurt, divided

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and toss with butter, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep noodles warm while preparing the chicken.

  • Place 1/2 cup yogurt in a small bowl. Add in 1/2 cup of sauce, a tablespoon at time, to temper the yogurt. Add paprika and blend well. Pour yogurt mixture back into the pot. Shred the chicken thighs and serve over cooked noodles. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your chicken paprikash taste its best. Look for organic, free-range chicken and fresh, colorful vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the pot helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the chicken in the Instant Pot or in a separate skillet.
  • Use a good quality paprika: Paprika is the key spice in chicken paprikash, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for paprika that is bright red and has a strong, smoky flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the sour cream: Sour cream is what gives chicken paprikash its creamy, tangy flavor. Use full-fat sour cream for the best results.

Conclusion:

Chicken paprikash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and creamy texture, it's a dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give chicken paprikash a try.
