Paprika Chicken & Rice

Focusing all your seasoning efforts on a plate’s protein isn’t always the answer. In this recipe, the chicken is simply pan-roasted with a knob of butter until golden. The spice magic happens with the sweet caramelised onions, infused with garlic & paprika, then coated in a creamy mustard sauce. Served with pea-dotted basmati rice.
