One-Pot Smoked Paprika Chicken, August 2016

One-Pot Smoked Paprika Chicken with carrots, potatoes & mushrooms is full of flavour, healthy and so easily put together! Try it with rice, quinoa or couscous.

Ingredients

• 500g, skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped into 4 pieces
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt & black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 medium onion, finely sliced
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 350g small potatoes, cut into 2 cm chunks
• 2 cups carrots, sliced
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 1/3 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 cup white wine
• garnish – fresh thyme if you have it – parsley if you don’t

Take the smoked paprika, salt & pepper and mix together in a zip lock bag.  Mix the chicken with the spiced set aside.

Heat the oil in a large pan – add the chicken and cook until brown. Put aside.

Next cook the onion, and garlic in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and carrots. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes.

Whisk the flour with the wine, and pour into the pan with the vegetables. Bring to the boil, stirring as you go. Add the chicken stock and stir again. Next add the chicken back to the pan and bring to the boil.

Cover the pan and simmer gently on a low heat for roughly 30 minutes.

Taste and adjust with more salt & pepper – serve on rice, quinoa or couscous.

And that is as easy as it gets – this is a delicious tasty one-pot meal that the whole family will enjoy!

Happy cooking xx
