Serving Size

• This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 4 large chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper generously.
2. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the Paprika and Liquids: Stir in the sweet and smoked paprika, cooking for a minute to release their aromas. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Braise the Chicken: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
6. Final Touches: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
