In the same pan, add 1 medium-sized chopped white onion and chopped chili peppers; cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add 4 cloves of fresh chopped garlic and stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Stir in 3 tablespoons of sweet hungarian paprika and 1 teaspoon of hot paprika; cook for another 30 seconds to a minute.

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes to the pan and stir to combine.

Return the chicken to the pan, mixing everything together.

Cover and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, checking after 20 minutes for doneness.

Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the pan from heat and set the chicken on a plate.

Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream until well combined, adjusting for consistency and flavor as desired.

Return the chicken to the sauce, spooning sauce over the chicken before serving.
