Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add chicken pieces to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Push chicken to one side and add butter, chopped onions, and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in tomato paste and ketchup. Let it bubble slightly, then mix with the chicken.
- Pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and let simmer on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Add fresh parsley before turning off the heat.
- Serve hot with white rice and crispy potato sticks.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful result.
- Don’t skip searing the chicken, it adds essential flavor depth.
- Let the sauce simmer gently to avoid curdling the cream.
- Double the sauce if you love it extra creamy.
