How to Make Paprika Chicken In Yoghurt

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 1.5 lbs total) generously with lemon pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the browned chicken to a casserole dish.
  5. Add 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper (any color) to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 cup chicken stock, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Pour the paprika sauce over the chicken in the casserole dish.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the chicken from the casserole dish and set aside.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornflour with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Add to the sauce in the casserole dish and whisk until thickened.
  11. Stir in 1 cup plain Greek yogurt.
  12. Return the chicken to the casserole dish, ensuring it's coated in the sauce.
  13. Bake for a further 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  14. Serve immediately over cooked noodles. Garnish with 1 tablespoon poppy seeds.
