Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 onion
2 small garlic cloves
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. chicken stock

Preparation

Clean chicken breasts and dry well. In a shallow baking dish, combine the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture to coat. Shake off excess. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chicken and brown well, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside. Pour excess oil from pan, leaving a thin layer. Add onions and garlic, saute, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine sour cream, chicken stock and green onions and mix well. Transfer chicken back to skillet, pour sour cream mixture over it. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until done, about 10 minutes.
