Season chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning; mix well.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium-high heat.

Add chicken pieces to the pan and brown on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each; then remove chicken to a bowl and set aside.

In the same pan, add diced onions and mushrooms; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add 3 teaspoons of minced garlic and a little salt; stir well.

Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock and add 2 bay leaves; bring to a boil.

Return the browned chicken pieces to the pan, cover, and cook on low for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.

After 30 minutes, remove chicken from the broth and set aside.

Line a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the chicken pieces on it.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and bake the chicken for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides are browned and crisp.

Remove the chicken from the oven and set aside.

In the reserved broth, add 1 cup of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning; mix well and cook for 3 minutes.

Add the chicken pieces back to the sauce and mix to coat; then remove the chicken to a clean dish.
