Smoky Smothered Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper Gravy

Smoky paprika chicken smothered in a spicy sweet roasted red pepper gravy!

This chicken is smoky, sweet, and has a kick of heat to it. I love pan frying chicken thighs because they cook so quickly and thighs are full of flavor. I use the leftover drippings from the chicken to create this delicious gravy. I added roasted red peppers to the gravy to give it a sweet kick and it is such a flavor bomb!

Smoky Smothered Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper Gravy

Smoky paprika chicken smothered in a spicy sweet roasted red pepper gravy!

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced fine
• 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• fresh thyme

Instructions

1. Mix the salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika togehter. Coat the chicken with the seasoning and heat the olive oil on medium low in a frying pan. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes each side. When there is about 2 minutes left of cooking, add the butter to the pan to melt. Spoon the butter over the chicken to baste it and then remove chicken from the pan.
2. In the remaining butter, add the onions, roasted red peppers and garlic. Cook until the onions have softened and then sprinkle on the flour. Mix and cook the flour down for a couple minutes.
3. Start to add in the chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time. Whisk or mix until the gravy starts to thicken before adding in the next 1/2 cup. Once all the chicken broth is added, add the chicken thighs back in the pan to finish cooking. Within another 2-3 minutes, the chicken should be done and the gravy is thickened. Sprinkle on the thyme before serving.
4. Serve over mashed potatoes or whatever side you want and enjoy!
