#### 1. **Cook the Chicken**:
Start by heating **olive oil** in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the **chicken pieces**. Season with a little salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
#### 2. **Sauté the Aromatics**:
In the same skillet, add the diced **onion** and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the **minced garlic** and cook for another 30 seconds, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
#### 4. **Add the Seasonings**:
Season the sauce with **paprika**, **dried thyme**, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. The **paprika** adds a subtle smokiness, while the **thyme** brings a hint of earthiness to balance the richness of the cream.
#### 5. **Combine the Chicken and Sauce**:
Once the sauce has thickened, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it to coat in the creamy sauce. Let everything simmer together for another 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to absorb the sauce. Add the **parmesan cheese** and stir until it melts into the sauce, creating a rich, cheesy texture.
