Preparation
  1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and season them generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, cooking it until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in the sour cream, chicken broth, dried thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until smooth.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
