For the Fries

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss fries with oil and salt, spread on a tray, and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway.

Cooking

  2. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and smoked paprika, and cook for a minute or two.
  4. Add chicken broth and cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return chicken to the pan and coat well in the creamy sauce.
Serving
  1. Plate creamy chicken with crispy fries and sprinkle with parsley.

Notes

Add a splash of white wine for extra depth. Use smoked paprika for a richer, slightly smoky flavor.
