Step 1

Get out a sturdy dutch oven and heat the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and Butter (2 Tbsp) in it over medium high heat.

Step 2

Brown the Boneless Skinless Chicken (2 lb) in it until cooked through completely. While it cooks, season it with a generous pinch of Salt (1 pinch) and Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch) , along with Hungarian Paprika (1/2 tsp) . Remove it and set it aside once it is done.

Step 3

Add the Red Bell Peppers (2) , Onion (1) , Garlic (4 cloves) , and Beefsteak Tomato (1) to the pan. Let them get fragrant and translucent for a couple of minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the Chicken Stock (2 cups) , Hungarian Paprika (2 Tbsp) , and also return the chicken back in to the pot. Let it come to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce it to a simmer. Let it cook and develop flavor for an hour.

Step 5

When the time is almost up, get a pot of water on to boil for the Egg Noodles (1 lb) . While it comes to a boil, combine the Crème Fraîche (1/2 cup) and All-Purpose Flour (1 Tbsp) in a bowl and whisk them together. Then add in a couple spoonfuls of the flavorful chicken broth and whisk it in to temper it.

Step 6

Add that mixture into the pot and stir it in well. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to make the sauce silky and thicker.

Step 7

While that is happening, boil the noodles until tender according to the package directions. It should take about 8 minutes. Drain them and stir them into the pot with the rest of the dish.

Step 8

Scoop into big bowls and serve immediately! Makes great leftovers too.
