Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 600 g diced chicken thigh (or breast – see note)
- small knob of butter
- 1 onion diced
- 100 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
- 2 cloves garlic grated or crushed
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 150 ml sour cream (or crème fraiche if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped plus extra for garnish
To serve:
- Rice, pasta, mashed potatoes or crusty bread
- Green vegetables, such as green beans or broccoli
Instructions
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and heat for 1 minute, add the diced chicken and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure it is nicely browned all over. Tip the chicken and all the juices onto a plate.
- Turn the heat down then add the butter to the same pan and allow to melt, then add the onions and mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.
- When the onions and mushrooms are cooked, add the garlic, paprika, salt and pepper, plus the chicken and all the juices and cook over a low heat for a further 3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Add the sour cream and heat gently until it just starts to bubble (don’t boil!). Turn the heat off and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Serve with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes or crusty bread and green vegetables.

Notes
- In my opinion, this recipe tastes much nicer with diced chicken thigh, however if you prefer chicken breast, then that’s OK – the recipe works just fine with diced chicken breast!
