Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
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).
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
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).
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.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
