• Add the garlic. Cook a few minutes more.
• Add a splash of white wine (optional) and simmer for 1 minute or slightly less
• Add the chicken broth, paprika and salt.
• Add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Drizzle olive oil over the thighs and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring the broth to a simmer.
• Slide the pan into the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet, and slice on a cutting board. Taste, and add more salt if needed.
• Whisk the sour cream or creme fraiche into the sauce, a little bit at a time. Creme fraiche won't curdle, but if the broth is too hot, or you add too much sour cream at once, it might curdle. Low fat or non-fat sour cream will curdle in hot liquid, so make sure to use full-fat.
• Return the sliced chicken to the skillet. Serve the chicken and creamy sauce over pasta, grains like farro, rice or mashed potatoes.
