I find it balances the smoky, spicy flavour a little better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> &#8211; adds some savoury depth to the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoked Paprika<\/strong> &#8211; this is to go in the sauce and is of course the star ingredient in the creamy &#8216;paprika&#8217; sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun Dried Tomatoes<\/strong> &#8211; these add lovely pops of flavour and take on the smokiness really nicely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stock<\/strong> &#8211; chicken stock is used to create half of the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream<\/strong> &#8211; heavy\/double cream is used for the other half. Make sure you&#8217;re not using low-fat; it needs to be heavy\/double for the thickest consistency and richest flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon<\/strong> &#8211; a small amount of Dijon mustard helps cut through the rich sauce. It also adds some complexity to the sauce. You won&#8217;t taste it, but it&#8217;s very much needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong> &#8211; to finish the sauce, I love stirring in a knob of butter to help create a gorgeous, glossy finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1664\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy chicken drenched in a rich, smoky, creamy paprika sauce.

The regular paprika seasons the chicken in a more subtle way, whereas the smoked paprika gives so much smokiness and body to the sauce. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Chicken Paprika<\/h2>\n<p>To prep the thighs, there are two sneaky tips you might find handy:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Slice<\/strong> &#8211; if you lay the thighs smooth side down, you&#8217;ll likely notice some strands of meat that are preventing the thighs from lying completely flat. I recommend slicing these to ensure the thighs don&#8217;t curl in the pan as they fry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pound<\/strong> &#8211; it&#8217;s a good idea to gently pound the thighs to even thickness, just so they cook through quicker and more evenly. For convenience, I simply do this with the blunt side of a knife.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pan-fried chicken<\/h3>\n<p>They shouldn&#8217;t take too long to cook through &#8211; keep in mind they&#8217;ll carry on cooking slightly as they rest and when added back to the pan. Try to get a light charring on each side to increase the flavour and add to the smokiness of the dish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: prep thighs (photo 1), season (photo 2), fry then remove (photos 3&amp;4).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy chicken drenched in a rich, smoky, creamy paprika sauce.

This is flavour! As you fry the onion, it&#8217;ll release moisture, which helps &#8216;lift&#8217; the flavour from the pan. You can then scrape any more from the pan with your wooden spoon when you add the stock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paprika<\/strong> &#8211; it&#8217;s essential to fry the paprika. This helps the flavour &#8216;bloom&#8217; and prevents a raw taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resting Juices<\/strong> &#8211; as the chicken rests, you&#8217;ll notice a pool of juices form. Do not discard this, it&#8217;s bonus flavour that you can incorporate into the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>For more one pan chicken thigh recipes check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\/lemon-dill-chicken\/\">Lemon Dill Chicken<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\/creamy-cajun-chicken\/\">Creamy Cajun Chicken<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk\/one-pan-creamy-chicken-chorizo\/\">Creamy Chorizo Chicken<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: fry onion (photo 1), fry paprika, sun dried tomatoes and garlic (photo 2), simmer stock, cream and mustard (photo 3), stir in resting juices (photo 4), stir in butter (photo 5), baste chicken (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy chicken drenched in a rich, smoky, creamy paprika sauce.

Timings will depend on the thickness of the thighs, so just be vigilant (safe internal temp for chicken is 165F\/74C).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p> <span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>b) Chicken breast<\/strong> &#8211; I much prefer thighs because they add so much flavour to the sauce, but you could use breast. I recommend halving 2 large breasts right through the centre to create 4 even-sized cutlets. From there the recipe is the same, except they&#8217;ll take 3-4mins to cook on each side (a little quicker than thighs).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p> <span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>c) Finely dicing<\/strong> &#8211; I recommend dicing the onion and sun dried tomatoes very finely, just so they blend into the sauce with more ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p> <span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>d) Paprika<\/strong> &#8211; I like to use regular paprika for the chicken (named just &#8216;paprika&#8217; i.e. not smoked or hot etc). Most stores should have standard &#8216;paprika&#8217; but if not it might be named &#8216;sweet paprika&#8217; (that&#8217;s the closest thing). I then like smoked paprika in the sauce. I highly recommend using the two different types for the best balance of flavour. Also, just a note to say that it is important that you fry the smoked paprika in the sauce (doing it with the garlic and tomatoes is fine).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p> <span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>e) Consistency<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;ll be a little watery at the start, but it will thicken; just keep simmering away. You&#8217;ll want to give it a good stir to help emulsify the fats in the sauce and make sure it doesn&#8217;t split.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p> <span style=\"display:
