Tender chicken thighs simmered in a rich tomato and red pepper sauce with sweet smoked paprika and briny green olives, finished with fresh parsley for a comforting Andalusian-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on (about 1 kilogram total)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup green olives, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs evenly with salt, black pepper, and sweet smoked paprika.
  3. Add olive oil to the pan and place the chicken skin side down. Brown for 5 to 6 minutes until golden, then flip and brown the other side for 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add sliced onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  7. Stir in green olives and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes to slightly thicken the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
