Paprika chicken
With the paprika and red peppers, this delicious one pot chicken dish reminds one of a Spanish or Hungarian dish
Ingredients
- 20 ml (4 tsp) olive oil
- 8 chicken thighs
- 25 ml (5 tsp) butter
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2,5 ml (½ t) caraway seeds
- 5 ml (1 tsp) fennel seeds, lightly crushed
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) paprika
- 1 x 400 g can chopped tomatoes
- 2 red peppers, seeded and sliced in thick rings
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 250 ml (1 cup) sour cream
- handful of Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
- 750 ml (3 cups) cooked Spekko Long Grain Parboiled Rice
Method
- Heat oil in a large saucepan and brown chicken in batches. Remove from pan.
- Add butter to the pan and let it sizzle. Add onions, caraway and fennel seeds and garlic. Fry until onions are tender and golden.
- Add paprika and tomatoes and stir well. Return chicken to the saucepan with the peppers and simmer for 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Season to taste.
- Stir in the sour cream, sprinkle with parsley and serve with Spekko Long Grain Rice.
- Coarsely chopped means to not chop so hard that you leave the herb juices on the chopping board.
- Caraway seeds are often used in rye bread and are wonderful with pork, duck and apples. Try them with tomatoes too.
