Instructions

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Prepare the potatoes by cutting them into fries and tossing them in olive oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for about 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt olive oil and butter together. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened (about 3–5 minutes).
Stir in sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and tomato paste; cook for another minute.
Add chicken chunks to the skillet; sear until lightly browned on both sides (about 8–10 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce thickens (about 10 minutes).
Serve creamy chicken over crispy fries, garnished with fresh parsley.
