- Slice the onions and the pepper, crush the garlic and finely chop the parsley.
- In a large sauté pan, heat the oil and brown the salted and peppered chicken pieces on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and sauté the onions and pepper for 6 minutes, until soft.
- Add the garlic, tomato paste and paprika, and stir for one minute.
- Put the chicken back in the pan, pour in the stock and let it simmer covered for 25 minutes over low heat.
- Lower the heat, stir in the crème fraîche and heat through without boiling for 5 minutes.
- Adjust the seasoning, sprinkle with parsley and serve with white rice.
Variations and tips
Light version. Replace the crème fraîche with full-fat Greek yoghurt, adding it off the heat so it doesn't curdle.
