  4. 4

    Once the chicken is browned, add the sweet paprika, salt, and pepper, and chopped onions, stir well, and cook 1-2 more minutes to soften onions

  5. 5

    Slowly add milk to the pan, and use a wooden spoon to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Cover and simmer on low for 25 minutes.
