Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts or chicken thighs, skinless and boneless cut into small cubes
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper chili flakes
  • ½ cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 15 ounce diced tomatoes 1 can, including juice
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a Dutch oven or medium size pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and onion to the pot and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Stir in the peppers and garlic. Add paprika, salt, pepper, red chili flakes and stir lightly. Add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the flour and sour cream with a ladle of broth from the pot. Pour this mixture back into the pot and stir. Turn the heat down to a medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken from the flour.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve over noodles, rice or potatoes.
