A fantastic one pot meal this Spanish Chicken is great for those busy winter weeknights.

Serves:

Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:
40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Gregg's Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp plain flour
  • 6 chicken pieces, approx 1kg
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tsp Gregg's Crushed Garlic
  • 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 x 420g can chickpeas, drained
  • 1/2 - 1 cup liquid chicken stock
  • 1 capsicum, roasted and sliced

Method

Place the Gregg's Smoked Paprika and flour in a large plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces and shake until they are well coated.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown all over. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Add the onion and Gregg's Crushed Garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until the onion is soft. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the tomatoes, chickpeas and ½ cup stock. Cover the pan, bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30 - 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.  Stir a few times during cooking, adding more stock if required.

Serve on couscous, pasta or rice garnished with sliced roast capsicum.

Hints & Tips

To roast capsicum Preheat a grill to 220°C. Line a baking dish with foil. Cut capsicums in half and remove the seeds and core. Place skin-side up on the foil and place under the grill. Grill until the skin has blackened. Remove from the heat and wrap the capsicums in foil. When cool enough to handle unwrap and remove the blackened skins.
