- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 tbsp sweet hungarian paprika

- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 cup chicken broth

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
