Photo: Braised Paprika Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (about 6 to 8)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium russet potato, small dice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Directions
Combine kosher salt, paprika, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pat chicken dry and rub the mixture all over. Place a 3-to 4-quart Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat and add oil. When it smokes, add chicken, skin side down, and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on second side.
Transfer chicken to a plate and drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Return to stove on medium heat, add onions, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until golden and softened, about 3 minutes.
Add potatoes and broth and scrape the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Add chicken, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and cover.
Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Add chicken, turn to moisten in sauce, and serve.

This is great! I have made two substitutions, 1 chicken breast instead of thighs and 2 sweet potatoes instead of russet. Staple meal in our household.

I thought this was very tasty. My husband and I are going low carb, so we omitted the potatoes, reduced the salt and I only added enough chicken stock to cover the chicken. It had great flavor and we will definitely eat again. If I was eating carbs, I think I would prefer it with couscous vs potatoes.

i just made this tonite for dinner it was amazing i gotta say i made it a little different first of all i used chicken breast because were not really into the dark meat so i did the same thing as u would if u used the thigh i just rubbed the paprika salt n pepper that i tweeked dew to the smaller amount od chicken that i used and i made some rice on the side i no that tha sounds crazy becauseof the potatoes that are already in there but i added a little cyanne pepper and even a small drop of saracha hot sause so i figured i might need the rice to sock up some of the heat and spice and i gotta say i was rite i deff needed it but it was delish and cant wait to make it again
