1. Brown the chicken
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the aromatics
In the same pan, add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent.
3. Build the sauce
Stir in tomato paste, paprika, wine, and stock. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Add chicken and peas
Return the chicken to the pan, add the peas, and cover. Simmer gently for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Finish and serve
Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
🍽️ Serving Suggestion:
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, warm polenta, or rustic bread. A pickled chili on the side adds a bold contrast.
