Instructions

Season chicken with paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
In a wide skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

Add tomatoes, mashing with the back of a spoon.
In a small bowl, combine chicken broth, reserved tomato juice, and flour. Stir until well blended. Add to skillet, whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil.

Add sour cream and stir to combine. Add bell peppers.
Continue to cook on low for about 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened and bell peppers are tender yet crisp. Serve hot.
