Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides, then sear them in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove and set aside.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds and add to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned, then remove and set aside with the chicken.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and garlic and sautΓ© for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, paprika, thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the chicken thighs and sausage to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a hearty, satisfying meal.
