Spicy Chicken
A simple chicken sauce flavoured with paprika
Try out this very easy recipe that makes up a spicy chicken sauce in a very short space of time. Add some rice and salad and it makes a delicious meal. If the mixture sounds too dry then just add some tomato sauce because that is something else that is really easy to make.
Ingredients
400g/1lb skinless chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 red pepper deseeded and chopped
125g/4oz mushrooms thinly sliced
1 large clove garlic peeled and crushed
275ml/ pint chicken stock
Paprika powder to taste
olive oil
salt
black pepper
Method
Heat olive oil in a wok or large pan then add in the pieces of chicken.Stir them around for a moment a so to make sure that they do not stick to the pan.
Add the onion, red pepper and garlic to the chicken and continue to saute for around 3 more minutes but keep on stirring so that everything is cooked evenly.
Add in the mushrooms and paprika. Around half a teaspoon shold be right but add more for a slightly spicier flavour. Stir everything around for a moment or so.
Pour in the chicken stock and stir well as the pan comes up to the boil.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid level is OK because it can burn. Add a little more stock or water if needed.
At the end of the cooking time, the mixture should be moist but most of the liquid should have gone. Serve on a bed of your favourite rice and accompany with a fresh salad or coleslaw. A simple tomato sauce can also be served as part of this dish if you feel that it is too dry and that is something that is very easy to make as the chicken mixture and rice are cooking.
