Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients according to the list. To prepare a dish, you can use chicken fillet or a whole chicken, if a dish is being prepared for a large family, I took chicken thighs to get the same large portions. The meat is thawed and washed, cut off the skin and fat, the bones can not be removed. Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces.
Step 2:
Peel the onion from the husk and cut into small cubes. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom or into a saucepan, heat it up, spread half an onion on the oil, fry in oil until transparent.
Step 3:
Add paprika to the onion, you can pour in a little water and simmer the onion, stirring with a spatula for a couple more minutes.
Step 4:
We send the cooked chicken to the frying pan, fry it on both sides until the meat turns white over medium heat, you do not need to fry the chicken very much. Remove the chicken from the pan.
Step 5:
Fry the second part of the onion and carrot together for about 7 minutes. Tomatoes are mine, cut out the attachment point of the peduncle, cut into cubes, my bell pepper, cut into two halves, cut out the seed pod, cut the pulp into strips.
Step 6:
Send the cooked vegetables to the pan, add a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree (I have homemade) or tomato paste. To taste, salt and pepper, those who like it sharper can add a piece of hot pepper pod or a garlic clove passed through the press. Pour in a small amount of water and simmer the vegetables over low heat.
Step 7:
Add chicken meat, stir and simmer for about 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream with flour until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, so that there are no lumps left, and add the cooked mass to the pan with chicken, mix.
Step 8:
Let the mixture boil, keep the dish on the fire for another five minutes and turn off the fire. Leave the paprika in the pan under the lid for 7-10 minutes. The sauce should thicken. The dish is ready, we serve it to the table with or without a side dish. Bon appetit!
