Chicken with Peppers and Pimentón

Readers of this blog will know how I like to make recipes up as I go along! Using whatever might be living in the fridge at the time.

So, armed with two chicken fillets, one red and one yellow bell pepper and a few other bits and bobs including onions, garlic and dried chilli flakes which are always in this house.

A lovely rich tomatoey dish of chicken with peppers and onions with a nice heat from the chilli flakes and smokiness of Pimentón. 

The sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sweetness to this and so if you have some I wouldn't leave them out. Anyway, that's how my Chicken with Peppers and Pimentón was created!

Pimentón (Spanish Paprika) is available in three versions:

  • Mild Pimentón Dulce, moderately spicy
  • Pimentón Agridulce, medium-hot
  • Pimentón Picante which is very spicy and delicious

Some Spanish paprika, including Pimentón de la Vera, has a distinct smokey flavour and aroma as it is dried by smoking, typically using oak wood.

I always use the brand La Chinata, which is also used by Jamie Oliver and Rick Stein. It's hot but in a nice way and has a lovely smokey flavour.

In the UK you can buy a tin in Sainsbury's on their World Food counter for around £2.00 (at the time of updating this post in January 2021).
