Euro 2016 Food Challenge: Czech Republic: Chicken Paprika


The Hairy Bikers' version of this dish is actually one of my favourite recipes, super simple and very easily adapted to Slimming World.  This is my interpretation of it, but it is very close to the original.

If not on plan, you can add the soured cream to the finished dish before serving, but I prefer to add it per portion so I can count the syns properly...

Ingredients

4-6 chicken thighs, bone in but skin removed
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tbsp paprika (I use smoked paprika - 1 tbsp of hot / 1 tbsp of sweet)
Half a pint of chicken stock
A handful of chopped flat leaf parsley
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into strips
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
250ml soured cream / 1-2 tbsp. per portion (if counting syns)

Fry the onion until translucent. Add the chicken thighs and brown them on each side.  Stir in the garlic, paprika, peppers, stock, parsley and chopped tomatoes.  Simmer on the hob for about an hour.

Stir in the soured cream before serving (portion by portion if you're counting!)

We usually have this with rice, but this time we tried it with Orzo pasta stirred through it. Very nice indeed.
