Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Step 1: Brown the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and season with salt and black pepper. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Add Paprika and Flour

    Stir in the sweet paprika and flour, cooking for about 2 minutes until well combined.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Incorporate Broth

    Slowly add the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Return Chicken to Skillet

    Add the browned chicken back to the skillet. Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Finish with Sour Cream

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Step 7: Serve

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot over egg noodles or rice.
