Ingredients
- 4 chicken leg quarters, cut in half at joint (about 3 pounds total)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 pound wide egg noodles
- 1/2 cup sour cream or thick plain yogurt
Directions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over high. Cook chicken, skin side down, until golden and crisp, 6 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until browned, 6 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
- Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot and reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until beginning to soften, 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add paprika and flour, season with salt and pepper, and stir constantly until paprika is fragrant and mixture begins to stick, 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil over high. Return chicken to pot in a single layer, skin side up, and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain noodles and divide among four bowls. Top with chicken. Stir sour cream into sauce, then ladle over chicken and noodles.
@ qweendark- There are some great chicken/meat alternatives out there right now.
Seiten (sp) is supposed to be a wonderful chicken alternative. Whole foods
Excellent!!! Followed recipe exactly and it was absolutely delicious. Reminded us of a little eastern European restaurant in Medford, NJ. Will definitely make again. For company, tho, I would use boneless chicken breasts so one wouldn't have to pick the meat off the bones. Again, wonderful recipe. Advice: change nothing!

make it like a veggie stew using the sauce carrots onions peppers mushrooms celery turrnip parsnips sweet potatoes are good too just a little heavy flavour I would add the hotter paprika for these I would put my veggies in a crock pot and when almost done add sauce and simmer for an hour so the veggies absork flavour
This sounds fantastic, but would anyone have any suggestions for a meat free alternative to the chicken? We're trying to reduce our meat intake in my household. I'm stumped because I don't think tofu would lend itself well to this recipe.
Another wonderful money saving recipe. I have made this for years, in fact it was one of the first meals I learned to cook. Check with your butcher for what is on special that week or day and use that. You can always pull the skin off too.
