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)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well to create a smooth, creamy sauce.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot over cooked white rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
