- Add browned chicken, paprika, red pepper, tomatoes, and ketchup to the onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Add broth and wine. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Combine flour and heavy cream and add it to the chicken. Add the sour cream. Simmer until the sauce is thickened.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve with spaetzle (pictured above), wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
- A salad and vegetables would be perfect side dishes and complete this meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat to 165°F.
Notes
- Even if you are not a fan of onions, be sure not to leave them out because they add so much flavor to the meal.
- After adding the heavy cream and flour, don't let the sauce boil, or the cream will curdle. It's okay to let it simmer.
