Chicken with Paprika and Sour Cream (Creamy Paprikash)

Start by preparing the ingredients: cut the chicken breast into cubes of approximately 3 cm. Finely chop the onion and garlic, and cut the bacon into strips about 1 cm wide.

In a spacious pot, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and fry them until golden on all sides. Remove the meat and set it aside. In the same pot, add the bacon and sauté it for 1.5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the onion and garlic over the bacon and continue to sauté until the onion turns slightly golden. Incorporate the tomato paste and cook for another 1 minute. Sprinkle the sweet paprika, mix well, and let the flavors release for 20 seconds (be careful not to burn the paprika).
