There are those go-to meals you always keep in your back pocket—and this is one of mine. It’s packed with flavor, super budget-friendly, and made with ingredients you probably already have on hand (okay, maybe not the egg noodles—but trust me, it's worth the trip to the Asian aisle!).

This dish has that “mmmmm” factor. You know the one. The kind where your friends and family take a bite and immediately start nodding their heads in slow-motion joy. Yup, that’s this meal.

Whether you're whipping this up for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy meal with friends, it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

What You’ll Need For This Chicken Dish:

• 1 tablespoon butter – for that rich, golden sizzle

• 1 teaspoon salt – just enough to wake everything up

• 2 chicken breasts, cut into chunky strips – the star of the show!

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or more if you like a little kick)

• ¾ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream – creamy goodness! (Want to keep it light? You can totally skip it.)

• 2½ teaspoons paprika – this adds a warm, smoky hug of flavor

• ½ onion, thinly sliced – for sweetness and depth

  
  

Let’s Cook!

1. Slice it Up

Cut your chicken into hearty, chunky strips.

2. Marinade Magic

In a bowl, mix the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and a dollop of Greek yogurt (if using). Stir until each piece is well-coated and let it marinate for 10–15 minutes. While that’s doing its thing, slice your onion nice and thin.

3. Butter Up the Pan

Heat half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s melted and bubbling, you’re ready for onions!

4. Onion Time

Add in the onions and sauté until soft and just starting to caramelize. That sweet, savory smell? Pure magic.

5. Chicken Joins the Party

Add the rest of the butter, turn the heat down to medium-low, and pour the marinated chicken (yogurt and all!) into the pan. Using thighs? Make sure that skin side is down in the pan to get that perfect crispy finish.

6. Oven Finish

Transfer the pan (or just the chicken) to a preheated 350°F oven.

• Thighs: 20–30 minutes

• Breasts: About 10 minutes. Make sure the internal temp hits 165°F—safety first, flavor always.

  
  

7. Garnish & Serve

Top it off with fresh cilantro or parsley, then serve with egg noodles or rice. And then? Dig in!

Quick Tips & Tasty Tricks:

• Season to taste! Start with the basics, but feel free to adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.

• Olive oil works too! If you’re out of butter or prefer a lighter option.

• Cooking with thighs? Sprinkle seasoning under the skin for extra flavor, crisp it up in a skillet, then finish in the oven.

• Pair it with: Egg noodles, jasmine rice, or even mashed potatoes—go with your comfort food heart.
