EASY PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Serves 4 – 5 (depending on the size of the Chicken portions)

Freezes well – divide into portions & self-seal bags

Ingredients:

1 Onion – chopped
2 Garlic Cloves – grated
Large tin of Chopped Tomatoes
400mls of Chicken Stock
1 Tbsp Paprika
½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Dried Bay Leaf
2 Peppers sliced into strips – I used Green & Yellow
2 Tbsp Tomato Puree
1 Tsp Sugar
Salt & Pepper

Method:

1. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces
2. Put all the ingredients into a large casserole with lid
3. Stir well to combine everything together & cover with the lid
4. Bring to the boil
5. Turn the down to a simmer
6. Cook gently for 40 minutes
7. Remove the lid & stir
8. Simmer for another 20 minutes until thickened
9. If you like it a bit thicker add a little more tomato puree & cook for another 10 minutes
If you like it a little thinner just add a little water
10. Remove the bay leaf & discard
11. Season to taste
12. Delicious served with mashed potato or rice

Notes:

This can also be cooked in the oven at 150° fan. Transfer the dish to the oven after it has been brought to the boil & cook for 1 hour

It can also be served with pasta – just cut the chicken into smaller pieces & make the sauce a little thicker.
