Loaded Creamy Paprika Chicken with Herbed Rice
Creamy Paprika Chicken Thighs Over Buttery Herb Rice
Ingredients:
For the Herbed Rice:
1 cup long-grain white rice (or jasmine rice)
2 cups chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
Salt to taste
For the Creamy Paprika Chicken:
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional for tang)
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, combine rice, broth or water, and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in herbs and season with salt. Keep warm.
Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken dry and season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in chicken broth to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Add cream, Parmesan, and Dijon (if using). Stir and simmer until sauce thickens slightly (4–5 minutes).
Return chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce for 2–3 minutes.
Serve hot over herbed rice. Garnish with more parsley and extra sauce on top.
