I came up with this recipe because I made Sharon 123's recipe for Paprika Oil and thought it would enhance this dish nicely. Of course you can use olive oil. I was going for a chicken paprikash dish without the fat of sour cream and add lots of veggies like carrots, mushrooms and onions. Makes it a light dish for Valentines Day-saves room to share a sensual dessert for two! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons flour |
1 teaspoon seasoning salt, i used flavored salt flavored seasoned salt |
2 teaspoons sweet paprika or 2 teaspoons hot paprika, your choice |
1 lb chicken breast, gently pounded with flat side of mallet |
1 -2 tablespoon luscious olive oil |
1/2 lb baby carrots, cut lengthwise |
12 ounces exotic mushrooms or 12 ounces button mushrooms, cut into quarters |
1 large sweet onion, sliced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup champagne, drink the rest of the bottle with dinner for 2 |
2 tablespoons silky tomato paste, to thicken and give that red valentine color to the dish |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley |
1 sprig fresh thyme |
parsley |
thyme |
Directions:
1. Mix the first 3 ingredient together.
2. Coat tenderized chicken with the flour mixture and let sit to absorb while stir frying veggies.
3. In a very large non stick pan, heat oil and stir fry carrots, mushrooms, and onions 2 minutes over high heat add garlic stirring constantly for 3 more minute. Remove veggies and keep warm.
4. In the same pan brown one side of chicken adding oil only if needed for 1 minute. Flip and top with the cooked veggies cooking for 2 minutes.
