Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chili lime seasoning
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup single cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic granules
- 1 cup low sodium chicken stock
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step: Slice the onions into rounds thinly, about 3-4mm-ish thick. Remove any unwanted fat from the boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.
- Step: Add the seasoning and flour to a small bowl and mix to combine.
- Step: Add the seasoned flour to a rimmed tray and spread it out on the tray.
- Step: Coat the chicken thighs one at a time in the seasoned flour on both sides. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the seasoned flour and discard the rest.
- Step: In a shallow skillet, heat olive oil and melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Step: Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Step: In the same skillet, add sliced onions and stir occasionally until they start to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
- Step: Sprinkle the reserved seasoned flour into the skillet and mix until the onions are coated.
- Step: Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid any lumps forming.
- Step: Stir in the single cream and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens into a creamy gravy.
- Step: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon some of the gravy over them. Cook for an additional 4-7 minutes until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165F/73C).
- Step: Taste and adjust seasoning before serving hot.
Notes
The sauce thickens as it sits, so it is best to serve this dish while it is still hot. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
