- Toss in the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, then stir in the soy sauce and paprika.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Notes
Pro Tips: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding chicken; this helps improve browning. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Taste along the way to adjust the seasoning based on your preference. Storage Instructions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed to maintain moisture.
