Cut the chicken breast into cubes and dice the bell peppers and onion.

1

Whisk the flour, 2 tablespoons paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl.

Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and set them aside.

3

Whisk the flour, 2 tablespoons paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl.

4

Add the onions, bell peppers, 1 tablespoon paprika, and cayenne pepper to the pan, and cook for about 5 - 7 minutes until softened - scraping up any pieces stuck to the bottom of the pan.

5

Return the chicken to the pot and add chicken stock to cover it. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

6

Remove the skillet from heat, use a slotted spoon to take the chicken out of the pan, then gently stir in the sour cream. Return the chicken to the pan and coat well with the sauce.

7

Serve over rice, noodles, or with potatoes.

Cooking Tips

If you like your paprika sauce a little thicker, stir 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water.

01

To get that crispy golden color on the chicken, the butter needs to be hot so that the floured chicken pieces crisp up instantly.
