Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings.
Reduce the heat to moderate.
Add the onion and red pepper to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes or until softened.
Add the paprika and saute, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes more or until the onion is golden.

Return the chicken to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil.
