Instructions
 

  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large deep skillet. Add onion and paprika and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to pan; stirring occasionally until chicken is lightly browned on all sides. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in prepared chicken stock. (Do not pour it in all at once otherwise your sauce will not thicken).
