Steps

  1. Slice each chicken thigh into four strips going across the grain.

  2. Heat oil over medium high heat in a non-stick pan. Add chicken, onion and garlic and sauté over medium-high heat; until browned and thoroughly cooked with no pink inside. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  3. Add sliced mushrooms and red pepper strips. Sauté for 3 minutes.

  4. Stir in paprika, caraway seeds, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. Sprinkle flour over chicken and vegetables; cook, stirring for 1 minute. Stir in stock and tomato paste; cook, stirring often, until thickened enough to coat back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly then stir in sour cream.

  6. Top with minced fresh parsley.
