Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut chicken into strips (roughly about 40 pieces). Toss the chicken with 1 tsp salt and black pepper.
Heat oil in large, deep skillet over high heat. Brown the chicken in batches, 1 -2 mins each side. Remove each batch and place on platter to let cool slightly.
Chop the tomatoes and onions roughly. Blend them in blender with the garlic cloves until smooth.
Pour into the same skillet and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer, cook for about 10 to 15 mins.
Cut the bacon strips in half. (Make sure you have the same number of pieces as chicken.) Wrap each bacon piece around the chicken pieces. Use a toothpick to secure.
Cut the potatoes in half and spread at the bottom of a large roasting pan. Lay the bacon-wrapped chicken on top of the potatoes.
Turn off heat on tomatoes and onions and whisk in 1/2 tsp salt, paprika and sour cream. Pour over the chicken and potatoes. Cover the pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 mins. until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through. Let cool 10 mins then serve.
