Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
Wash and dice the red potatoes into small cubes, leaving the skin on if desired. Dice the apple and onion into similar-sized cubes for even cooking. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken pieces. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme, and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the diced apple to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the apples begin to soften slightly.
Return the cooked potatoes and chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together and pour in the chicken broth. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to slightly reduce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley right before serving.
Serve the Chicken Apple Hash warm as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite salad or crusty bread.
