Dry the chicken pieces, salt them, and finely chop the onion.
Sear the chicken in oil for 7 minutes and transfer to a plate.
Cook the onion in the same pot for 8 minutes, then turn the paprika for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken and chicken stock and cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
Warm the cream with a little hot sauce and stir it into the pot.
Heat the sauce for 3 minutes without boiling so the cream does not curdle.
💡 Tip: Turning the paprika without burning it preserves its color.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the chicken hot with nokedli and sour cream on the side.
