Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp canola oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup chicken broth
2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (frozen is fine)
1 Tbsp paprika (ideally Hungarian paprika)
1 tsp dried marjoram(or you can use ½ tsp dried oregano)
1 ¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
2 Tbsp cornstarch + 3 Tbsp water
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the oil and swirl it around. Add in the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot. Turn off the Instant Pot.
  • Add in the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, marjoram, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Then dump the tomatoes on top of the chicken.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 chicken breasts (on the bone, with skin)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 large onion (or 2 medium onions), sliced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sour cream mixed with 2 teaspoons flour

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 F. Lightly oil a large baking dish and set it aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Brown the chicken breasts in the hot oil.
  • Spread the sliced onions across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the chicken on top of the onions and sprinkle the breasts evenly with the paprika.
  • Pour the broth over the chicken.
  • Bake it for 45 to 55 minutes or until the chicken breasts register at least 165 F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
  • Skim the fat from the juices remaining in the baking dish, then strain the liquid or put it through a gravy separator.

  • Whisk in the sour cream and flour mixture and heat, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened. Do not let it boil.
  • Serve the gravy with the chicken. If you prefer skinless meat, simply pull the skin off and discard it before you top the breast with gravy.
