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.
