Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 500 grams gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic, then sauté them in the skillet until softened, about 3 minutes.
Slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the paprika and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside and keep warm.
When the chicken is fully cooked and tender, remove it from the skillet and shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir in the sour cream. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in chopped parsley for freshness.
Serve the chicken and mushroom goulash over the warm gnocchi, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
