Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 large Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Sweet Hungarian paprika
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the sweet Hungarian paprika and tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute to blend the flavors.

Step 6

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they're partially submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.

Step 8

Add the chopped red bell pepper to the skillet, cover, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the chicken pieces, and stir in the coconut milk into the sauce, allowing it to heat through without boiling for about 3 minutes.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Return the chicken to the skillet and let it warm through briefly.

Step 12

Serve the chicken paprikash hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
