PAPRIKA CHICKEN BAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• In a large bowl, evenly season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
• On high, heat olive oil in a oven-proof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 5-6 minutes or the thighs develop brown crispy skin and flip over.
• Cook an additional 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the pot.
• Add the garlic and onions to the pot, and cook until the onions are transparent.
• Pour in the rice and chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, bringing to a boil.
• Add the chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up, on top of the rice, bring back to a boil and cover with a lid.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
• NOTE: For a crispy skin, remove chicken thighs and broil.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
  2. Quarter the tomatoes and place them in a large baking dish or roasting tray (roughly 25cm x 30cm). Peel the onions and cut into large wedges, then deseed and roughly chop the peppers. Add all these to the tray along with the chicken thighs.
  3. Squash the unpeeled garlic cloves with the back of your knife and add to the tray, then pick over the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the paprika.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, the balsamic and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Toss everything together really well to coat, then spread across the tray, making sure the chicken isn’t covered by the vegetables.
  5. Roast for around 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through, turning and basting it a couple of times during cooking with the juices from the tray.
  6. Serve the traybake with a lovely green salad on the side. You could also buddy it up with a little rice, polenta or a loaf of crusty bread to mop up the juices.
