Paprika Chicken

Why make a standard roux if you can impress any guests with a paprika-flour as the base of your homemade sauce, Chef? This lip-smacking liquid will coat butter-basted chicken slices, fried until golden. Sided with oven roasted butternut & onions and a balsamic-dressed greens & pea salad, and given extra flair with chopped chives.

  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut and onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. PEAS

    Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. CHICKEN

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  4. PAPRIKA SAUCE

    Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with 20g of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the paprika flour. Cook out, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of water or milk (optional). Remove from the heat and season.

  5. FRESH SALAD

    In a salad bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar with 10ml of olive oil. Mix to emulsify. Add the shredded salad leaves and the peas. Toss combine and season.

  6. DINNER IS READY

    Dish up the roasted veggies, side with the chicken slices, and drizzle the creamy sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle over the chopped chives and serve alongside the pea salad. Well done, Chef!
