Instructions

Season chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and half the paprika.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sear chicken until golden brown, then set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onions until soft, add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Sprinkle flour over onions and garlic. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then add heavy cream. Stir until sauce thickens.
Add Italian herbs, remaining paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste.
Return chicken to the skillet and simmer until fully cooked.
Prepare rice separately according to package instructions.
Serve chicken and sauce over rice, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch.
Chicken thighs will yield a more succulent, flavorful result.
The sauce will thicken as it cools. Add a splash of broth when reheating leftovers if needed.
