Ingredients
1.5 pounds chicken breasts or thighs
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Season chicken with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add onions and red bell peppers. Sauté until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Reduce heat and pour in heavy cream. Stir to deglaze the pan. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
5. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 8–10 minutes.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For extra depth, marinate the chicken in the seasoning 1–2 hours ahead.
Use a splash of chicken broth to lighten the sauce without losing creaminess.
