Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dredge the chicken lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 9

Stir in the sour cream and mix well to create a creamy sauce. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
