Ingredients

  • 2 lb (900g) boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs , cut into strips
  • salt and pepper , to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil , divided
  • 1 onion , diced (about 1 cup )
  • 1 bell pepper , cubed
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • chopped parsley , for garnish

Instructions

  • Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the chicken pieces. Cook, stirring, until cooked through. For the breast it's 3-5 minutes, for thighs 8-10 minutes. When done, transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook the onion, stirring, until it starts to soften, for about 6-8 minutes. Add the bell pepper, garlic, tomato paste, and cook for a minute more.
  • Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the chicken pieces, reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is warmed through.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream and flour. Add this mixture to a chicken and stir well. Cook for 4-5 minutes more, until the sauce thickens a little bit. But don't let the sauce boil.
  • Taste and season more with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with some chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy!
