Paprika Chicken

I tried a new recipe last night and it was definitely a hit!  It's similar to this recipe by Sandi Richard, but I had to change it a bit based on what I had available.


Paprika Chicken
chicken breasts (cut in half, if large)
1 chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2T paprika (I used this kind)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup chicken broth (I used chicken bouillon mixed with water)

  1. Brown the chicken on both sides in a bit of olive oil.  Add garlic and chopped onion to pan.
  2. When chicken is browned on both sides, add chicken broth and spices, stir. 
  3. Cover pan.  Occasionally stir/baste/turn chicken and cook until chicken is done and the sauce has cooked away.  There really isn't a sauce, it cooks into the meat and leaves you with really moist chicken.
We had the chicken with oven roasted potatoes, peas and corn.  If I didn't know, I would have a hard time identifying that the main flavour in this recipe was paprika.  It had a smoky almost BBQ taste (probably because I used smoked paprika).  It will be returning to our table in the near future!

Weekly Workouts
Monday - 40:00 yoga DVD

I tried a new yoga DVD last night.  It was a combined yoga/pilates DVD by Denise Austin.  I thought it was an okay DVD.  All of the poses/moves were manageable and it seemed to flow quickly from one thing to the next.
