Categories     Dinner

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tbsp olive oil
8 boneless and skinless chicken thighs
80g cubed pancetta or smoky bacon lardons
1 large red onion
4 garlic cloves
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 x 400g can plum tomatoes
1 tsp caster sugar
1 chicken stock cube
400g can cannellini or butter beans, drained
100g kale, stripped from the stalk and roughly chopped
garlic bread, to serve
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large casserole pan. Tip in the chicken and cook for a few minutes each side until golden brown - do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Put the pancetta in the pan and cook for 5 mins until starting to crisp. Push to one side and add the onion, cooking until softened, about 8 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 min.
  • Add the paprika, bay, vinegar, tomatoes and sugar, then crumble in the stock cube. Add two cans full of water (800ml), season well and return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 30 mins - bubbles should only break the surface now and then.
  • Uncover the pan and cook for another 30 mins until the stew has reduced to a rich broth. The tomatoes should have brokendown by now, but if they're still quite chunky, squash them with the back of a wooden spoon. Use two forks to pull apart the larger chunks of chicken.
  • Stir the beans and kale into the stew, cover with a lid and cook for 5 mins to wilt the kale and heat the beans through. Serve in deep bowls with chunks of garlic bread and a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil, if you like. To freeze the stew, leave to cool completely, then transfer to a freezerproof container. Will keep for up to three months. Defrost thoroughly, then reheat until piping hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic vegetables, free-range chicken, and flavorful spices will make a big difference in the taste of your stew.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: Smoked paprika is a classic Spanish spice that adds a rich, smoky flavor to the stew. You can also add other spices like cumin, coriander, or chili powder to taste.
  • Cook the stew slowly: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the stew with a variety of sides: Rice, quinoa, or crusty bread are all great options. You can also serve the stew with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

Smoked paprika chicken, kale, and bean stew is a hearty, flavorful, and healthy meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
