Instructions

    1.
    Place your raw chicken breast on a flat surface, and pound it flat to around a ½-inch thickness. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the exposed side and gently press the seasonings down so they adhere to the chicken breast.
    2.
    In a small, shallow pan, melt the butter on medium heat. Place the chicken breast (salt and pepper side down) in the butter and cover the pan. Cook for about 2.5 minutes on one side, or until a golden-brown edge forms. Flip the chicken over and cook for the same amount of time on the other side (covered) or until the chicken is cooked entirely through.
    3.
    Turn the stove heat down to low and transfer the chicken breast to a safe place for later use. Leave any juices in the pan.
    4.
    Dice the yellow onion, slice the red bell pepper thin, and mince the garlic. Add these three items to the pan. Cover with a lid, and let the ingredients cook on low for about 2 minutes, or until the onions and peppers are soft.
    5.
    Sprinkle the paprika over the ingredients. Stir continuously and cook the ingredients, uncovered, for about 30 seconds or until the paprika smells smoky and fragrant.
    6.
    Gently pour the chicken broth into the pan. Stir and bring the liquid to a simmer on medium-low heat. Allow the liquid to reduce for about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in the sour cream.
    7.
    Return the chicken breast to the pan of sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken and allow the flavors to marry for 1-2 minutes.
    8.
    Serve the Chicken Paprikash with chopped dill and parsley, if you wish. Enjoy!
