Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 16 pieces frozen pierogis
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, and corn)
- 0.75 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until browned and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the pierogis in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pierogis from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, followed by the sliced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked chicken and pierogis to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy vegetable sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pierogi Chicken Supper!
