* 1 tsp salt
* 1–2 tsp ground black pepper
* 1 tsp paprika powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken in a baking dish. Add the salt, pepper, paprika powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, chili flakes (if using) and olive oil. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
2. Bake the chicken: Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for about 45 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 200°C and bake for another 8 minutes, or until the chicken skin is nicely browned and roasted. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked.
3. Prepare the mushroom sauce: Heat a little oil in a pan. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the paprika powder, salt, pepper, tomato paste, cream and chicken broth. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 7–8 minutes.
6. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir until well combined. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
8. Serve the baked chicken with the creamy mushroom sauce, alongside rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy! 😋❤️
