Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups Cooked white rice or crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot over cooked white rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
