Season chicken all over with 1 tablespoon paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add onion and remaining 1/2 tablespoon paprika, reduce heat to medium and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.


Whisk in broth, scraping up any browned bits, increase heat to medium-high and boil until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.


Whisk in tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt.


Return chicken and its juices to skillet.


Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes.


Meanwhile, smash peas with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium pot and heat over medium heat until hot throughout.


Transfer peas to serving plate; remove chicken from sauce and arrange over peas.


Whisk yogurt into sauce and simmer gently, uncovered, 5 minutes more.


Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
