How to Make Creamy Paprika Chicken
- Slice the chicken breasts into 3-4 pieces each. Season them generously with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to enhance the flavor.
- Coat the seasoned chicken pieces evenly in flour. This step ensures a crispy exterior when cooked that perfectly complements the creamy sauce!
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once browned, set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary. Cook the finely sliced garlic for about 2 minutes until it's fragrant and golden but be careful not to burn it!
- Pour in the chicken stock, stirring to bring it to a light simmer. Add the sweet paprika, mixing thoroughly to infuse the stock with its rich, warm flavor.
- Slowly add the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Garnish your luscious dish with fresh parsley and serve with your preferred sides like rice, pasta, or crusty bread for that extra indulgent touch!
