chicken paprikash
| 8 | boneless skinless chicken thighs |
| 1 | brown onion, sliced |
| 1 | red pepper, deseeded and diced |
| 4 cloves | garlic, crushed |
| ¼ tsp | dried chilli flakes |
| 1 tbsp | tomato purée |
| 2 tbsp | plain flour |
| 500 ml | (18fl oz) chicken stock |
| 3 tbsp | paprika |
| 1 tin | (400g) chopped tomatoes |
| 5 tbsp | natural yoghurt |
| ½ tsp | salt |
| a handful of fresh parsley, chopped |
| Spray a large pan with a little oil and place over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned, then remove from the pan. Do this in batches if you need to! |
| Add the onion and pepper to the pan and cook over a medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes, until the onion has softened. Add the garlic, chilli flakes and tomato purée and cook for 1 minute. |
| Add the flour and stir continuously for 1 minute, then add the chicken stock, paprika and tinned tomatoes and stir well. |
| Add the chicken and bring to the boil, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through. |
| Mix together the natural yoghurt with the salt, and set aside. |
| Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat and leave to cool for about 5-10 minutes, then gently stir in the yoghurt until well combined. Serve in bowls, sprinkled with the parsley. |
| Notes: |
| Don't be tempted to use fat-free yoghurt in this, it'll probably split if you do! |
| We love this with mash, but it also works brilliantly with tagliatelle! |
