- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into ¼-inch pieces

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper, then add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
-
Step 2.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with the chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to coat. Sprinkle with the paprika and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine, then add the chopped tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 4.
Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Add the hot sauce if using. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 5.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked egg noodles, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
