The minute I found this recipe, I had a hunch it would be awesome. And man, it delivered! Super tasty!

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Protein: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken (or your preferred protein) and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes, then remove the protein and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3. Simmer with Spices and Tomatoes: Return the cooked chicken (or protein) to the skillet. Add the diced tomatoes, broth, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let everything simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
4. Add Creaminess: Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt, creating a rich, creamy sauce. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve hot, and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of this dish!
