Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 250 milliliters Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the chicken thighs in the skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen its flavor.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, then stir in the sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, and paprika.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
