The ingredients for Thalia's three pepper chicken paprika are:

4 small skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 500g in total)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons sweet smoked paprika
1 fresh red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1 tsp low sodium chicken bouillon powder
4 sweet red peppers, roasted and skinned
4 Tablespoons reduced fat sour cream or creme fraiche

Here is how you make Thalia's three pepper chicken paprika:

Makes 4 servings of 1 chicken breast and one red pepper per person.First roast the peppers. I do this by putting them straight onto the naked flame of a gas hob - but they can put under the grill. When they are blackened and blistered, wrap in a cloth or plastic bag and leave until cool enough to handle. Scrape off most of the skin, then cut into halves or quarters lenthwise, and remove the membrane and seeds. Alternatively, cheat, and open a jar of roasted peppers and rinse well! This sometimes works out cheaper and is definitely quicker but lacks the flavour and texture of fresh roasted peppers.While the peppers are roasting, fry the finely chopped onions in olive oil in a large pan or casserole dish until soft (5 minutes). Add the paprika, chilli (to taste) and bouillon powder. Add 1-2 cups water and cook until the onion is really well cooked. I leave this cooking until the peppers are ready. The paprika will thicken the sauce slightly. Check the seasoning and add more chilli or paprika if needed. Check there is enough liquid for four chicken breasts, adding more water if needed.Add the chicken breasts, either whole or cut into thick slices, to the pan and spoon the sauce over. Top with the roasted pepper pieces. Cover and simmer gently until the chicken is just cooked through. (10 minutes for slices - up to 20 minutes for whole breasts).Serve one breast and one red pepper per person and share out the paprika sauce. Top each plate with a tablespoon of reduced fat sour cream.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THALIA100.
