Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
While potatoes cook, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Sear until chicken is golden brown, 2-3 min per side. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 4.)
Add tomato sauce base, Paprika-Garlic Blend and flour to the pan with chicken. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1 min. Add 3/4 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl) and broth concentrate. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, 7-8 min.**
When potatoes are fork-tender, reserve 1/2 cup potato cooking water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Mash reserved cooking water and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Add peppers, spinach and half the sour cream to the pan with chicken and sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir until spinach wilts, 1 min. Divide mash between plates. Top with chicken, sauce and peppers. Dollop remaining sour cream over top.
