CHICKEN PAPRIKA



Chicken Paprika image

My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH PAPRIKA AND ROASTED GARLIC



Roast Chicken with Paprika and Roasted Garlic image

This roast chicken recipe comes from Martha's book One Pot: 120+ Easy Meals from Your Skillet, Slow Cooker, Stockpot, and More ($17.16, amazon.com). Paprika and garlic add delicious flavor to this one-pot meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 whole chicken (4 to 5 pounds)
2 large carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Combine paprika, oregano, and 1 tablespoon salt. Rub all over chicken. Tie legs together, and tuck wing tips beneath body. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Toss carrots and sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt. Scatter around chicken; roast 20 minutes.
  • Flip carrots and sweet potatoes and add garlic, tossed with 1 tablespoon oil, to pan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Tent chicken with foil to prevent overbrowning, if needed. Let rest 10 minutes before carving and serving. Return carrots and sweet potatoes to oven and roast until golden, 10 minutes. Brush with pan juices before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pilaf taste its best. Look for chicken that is free-range and organic, and use a good quality paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the rice in chicken broth: Using chicken broth instead of water will add a lot of flavor to the rice.
  • Let the pilaf rest before serving: After cooking, let the pilaf rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Chicken and paprika pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and fluffy rice, this pilaf is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
