Paprika Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce
Pan-seared paprika chicken is paired with a delicious tomato butter sauce and then toped with thinly sliced red onions and fresh parsley.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 8 ounces tomatoes roma, campari, or cherry
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
- thinly sliced red onion
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Trim if needed. Season each with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook chicken breast 7-8 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 6-7 minutes. (Chicken breast is done when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F).
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Wipe out skillet.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in skillet. Add tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning as needed. Add the butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir as needed and cook until butter is melted.
- Transfer tomatoes to a blender, then add the butter sauce. Blend until smooth.
- Return the tomato butter sauce to the skillet and heat for 3-4 minutes at low heat.
- Divide the tomato butter sauce between 2 bowls, then add the chicken. Top with red onion and fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Cook times on the chicken will vary based on how thick your chicken is. For very large chicken breasts, slice in half so the chicken will cook more quickly.
- Highly recommend serving this with some crusty bread to dip in the tomato butter sauce.
- I like to serve these in wide, shallow bowls.
- If needed, you can slice the chicken before adding to the bowls.
