For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You may need to adjust the cooking time to ensure the chicken is cooked through. If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt, but be sure to temper it before adding it to the skillet to prevent it from curdling. Adjust the amount of paprika to your liking. For a spicier dish, use a combination of sweet and smoked paprika. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will meld together even more overnight. For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with chickpeas or tofu.
