1 small onion (sliced)
1 small red bell pepper (sliced)
1 tbsp fresh garlic (chopped)
8 oz mushrooms (sliced )
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lb, sliced in half widthwise to make 8 pieces)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 oz heavy cream
4 oz sour cream
1 tsp paprika
1-3 tsp chipotle puree (***)
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat a large skillet to medium.
Drizzle oil in the skillet. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Cook until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook a few minutes longer until they are tender. Transfer to a separate bowl.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken. Brown the chicken on both sides.
Mix the heavy cream, sour cream, and remaining seasonings in a bowl. Season to taste.
Pour over the chicken in the skillet. Cook over low until the chicken reaches 160. Add the vegetables. Serve from the skillet or transfer to a serving platter.
