Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside (the chicken will finish cooking later).

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F/74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the tomato sauce until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
