– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions
Creating Chicken Paprikash can be straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Sauté Onions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
3. Add Garlic: Mix in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Brown Chicken: Increase the heat and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
5. Incorporate Paprika: Once browned, sprinkle the sweet paprika over the chicken. Stir to coat well.
6. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged. Bring to a simmer.
7. Reduce Heat: Lower the heat and cover. Let it cook gently for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
8. Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Gradually stir in a ladleful of the cooking liquid from the skillet to temper the sour cream.
9. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the tempered sour cream mixture back into the skillet, stirring well to combine. Heat through without boiling.
10. Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
