Smoky Paprika Chicken over Rice image

Adopted this recipe because I am loving my new smoky paprika...the original description was the following...A sweet friend in the Canary Islands sent me some wonderful smoky paprika -- and this week, our paper published this great recipe from "Desperation Dinners" with a recommendation to try the smoky version of one of the most overlooked spices. One taste and you'll never see paprika as "just a garnish" again.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

salt, to taste
1 cup long-grain rice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each) or 6 chicken thighs
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion (for about 1 cup sliced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons instant minced garlic
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons smoked paprika, more to taste
1 cup regular sour cream (do not substitute lowfat or fat-free)

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, and cook 17 minutes or until tender.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep over medium-high heat.
  • Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings, adding them to the skillet as you slice.
  • Add chicken, salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken and most of the onions to a platter and set aside.
  • Add the garlic, tomato paste, paprika and 1 cup water to the skillet; stir well until blended.
  • Raise the heat to high, and bring tomato mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  • Stir in the sour cream (do not use low-fat or fat-free versions, or they may curdle.), then add the chicken and onions back to the skillet and cook about 3 more minutes.
  • Serve over hot rice.
