Chicken with Paprika and Potatoes
We've seasoned the chicken by rubbing it with a spice paste.

I do like this, but I used a strong smoked paprika and browned the chicken first in just a teaspoon of bacon fat. The browning makes a big difference, and the smoked paprika works so nicely with the bacon fat to give a richer taste. I know bacon fat isn't healthy, but I tsp. between two people is not really an issue. Served with some steamed collard greens, this makes a good homey meal for two.
Fabulous dinner! I paired it with a beet salad, and it was great!
I thought that this dish was OK...probably not one I would make in the future, but not terrible. I added extra broth (just under 1 cup), as per the recommendations and found that it was WAY more than I needed...wish I would have stuck with the recipe amount. I found the rub for the chicken was tasty, but difficult to spread on the chicken...very clumpy. I also left out the bell pepper, as that was the one ingredient missing and I didn't want to go to the store. I think my husband liked this dish more than I did. I just found it to be very so-so.
This is superb!!! I LOVE this dish. I added about 1/4 t. black peppercorns to the potato mixture, and found too that I needed closer to a cup of broth. I can't wait to make this again. I agree with other reviewers, it would be very bland without the black peppercorns and red pepper for extra heat.
I agree with other reviewers that this was a bit bland. I was out of smoked paprika, and I would definitely recommend using smoked paprika and some ground red pepper to add some dimension to the flavors in this dish. Overall it wasn't bad, just unremarkable.
This recipe is a nice change of pace. I still thought it was missing some additional flavor. I cooked the chicken a bit in advance, which helped with the timing of the potatoes. I also used almost a cup of broth in the process and smoked spanish paprika instead of regular.
This was SUCH a wonderful surprise dish. The ingrediet list was relatively simple but the flavors are incredible. My husband and I had leftovers and the flavor gets better with time to sit! Make this for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dinner...either way its Fabulous!
