Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 unit large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 unit garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, no salt added
• 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 8 ounces egg noodles

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sweet paprika and thyme to the onions, stirring to coat the onions in the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet. Stir the non-fat Greek yogurt into the sauce, mixing well until it's creamy and smooth.

Step 9

Slice the chicken into thick strips and return to the skillet to warm through.

Step 10

Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked egg noodles, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley.
