Instructions:
-
Clean and Prepare Chicken: Start by cleaning the chicken breasts thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
-
-
Prepare Flour Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
-
Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
-
Brown Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown them well on both sides. This step helps seal in the juices and adds flavor to the chicken.
-
Set Chicken Aside: Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
-
Saute Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, pour off any excess oil, leaving a thin layer at the bottom. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Saute them, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
-
Prepare Sour Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, chicken broth, and chopped green onions. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
-
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the sour cream mixture over the chicken.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, serve it hot on top of buttered noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
