Chicken Paprika Bake

Read the sequence from the top before cutting, painting, or moving pieces.

I’ve never been a huge fan of chicken recipes, I usually find them too bland and boring, that was at least until I found this Chicken Paprika Bake. To say this recipe is good (even for a non-chicken eater) is an understatement, this is so delicious I can’t stop making it again and again.

Yes, this Chicken Paprika Bake is full to the brims with flavor, yes this is an explosion of spices (in the best possible way) and yes this is so straightforward to make you can pretty much consider it a weeknight dinner staple.

I also love how incredibly versatile this recipe is actually, I usually make sure to double or triple the batch so I have enough leftovers for later. I mean this is delicious in salads, (vinaigrette, cheese, eggs and bacon anyone?) it’s delicious as a sandwich filling topped with some melted cheese and crisp lettuce, and it’s even great as an omelete filling and pizza topping.

SO you can pretty much make it for dinner once and then have it for lunch all week without making it again. If that isn’t memorable I don’t know what is.

And you only need things that are probably already in your pantry like lemon juice and garlic and olive oil and oregano. And obviously paprika (if you don’t have it buy it ASAP is the best spice you can have!) Then it is just as straightforward as mixing all your seasonings together and rubbing your chicken with it, transferring to a baking dish and let it cook for around 30 minutes or until done and juicy.

The result is this flavorful, tender, clearly juicy chicken that’s almost too good to be true, so don’t get surprised if you find yourself making this Chicken Paprika Bake every day.
