Written by Greek Boston in Authentic Greek Food Recipes, Greek Style Chicken Recipes

Hilopites are a traditional comfort food in Greece. There is nothing better on a cold day or after a long day at the beach than a nice bowl of hilopites. These are also a favorite go-to dish for kids.

Greek Style Chicken with Noodles (Kotopoula Hilopites) Recipe Ingredients:

• 2 pounds assorted chicken pieces, such as thighs and drumsticks (with bone)
• 2 sticks butter
• 2 pounds tomatoes
• 1 pound, 10 ounces Hilopites – These are special square “hilopites” noodles found in Greek markets.
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Directions to Prepare Chicken With Noodles:

Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.

Wash the tomatoes and strain them through the colander.

Melt the butter in a large pot.

Sauté a few chicken pieces at a time, on all sides, in the hot butter or margarine.

Add 1/3 of the tomato paste, 1 cup of warm water and let all simmer over a medium fire for one and a quarter hour.

Meanwhile, set the oven at 250 degrees.

When their cooking time is completed, remove the chickens from their pot and set on a platter.

Pour the sauce in the pot into a baking dish.

Add the rest of the tomato paste and 2 or 3 cups of warm water. Put this in the oven to cook for 15 minutes.

Next add the noodles, stirring occasionally with a fork, and let them bake in a medium oven for 20 minutes.

Stir again, lay the chicken pieces in the baking dish with the noodles and let the meal cook for a few minutes more until the noodles are completely done.

Serve the meal with grated Parmesan cheese.

It is especially tasty in the summer, served with fresh tomatoes.
