Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet, skin side down. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, then flip the chicken and cook for a few more minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle both types of paprika over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly. This will help release the flavors of the paprika.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and sliced bell pepper. Give everything a good stir and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Stir in the sour cream into the sauce, mixing well until it’s fully incorporated and the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the Paprikahuhn over rice or noodles, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
