Chicken with Smoked Paprika and Almonds
Serves
1
This is Spanish cooking at its best. I love the combo of almonds and paprika! It’s really tasty and so easy to make.
Ingredients
½ tbsp coconut oil
½ red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 red pepper, de-seeded and sliced
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1x 240g skinless chicken breast fillet, sliced into 1 cm thick strips
5 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
20g blanched almonds
large handful of baby spinach leaves
salt and pepper
juice of 1 lemon
How To
Melt the coconut oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper and fry, stirring regularly, for 2 minutes or until the vegetables are just starting to soften.
Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and oregano and stir to coat the vegetables, then increase the heat to high. Add the chicken and tomatoes and cook, still stirring regularly, for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Check by slicing into one of larger pieces to make sure the meat is white all the way through, with no pink bits left.
Stir in the almonds and spinach, then cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the spinach has totally wilted.
Plate up your chicken, season generously with salt and pepper, and finish with a squeeze of lemon Juice.
*Serve with a big portion of your favourite greens such as spinach, kale, broccoli, mange tout or green beans.
