Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1.5 cups chicken stock
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Lightly dredge the chicken in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the smoked paprika and sweet paprika, coating the onions and garlic in the spices.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken stock and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 10

Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Allow the sauce to warm through but do not let it boil.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with rice, noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
