Total time: 45 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 30 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
This Spanish-inspired chicken dish is richly flavoured and full of warm comfort. Chicken thighs are ideal because they stay so moist during cooking. Nestled among the tangy tomatoes and briny olives the chicken soaks up the flavours of the white wine and paprika. Serve over a bed of rice or over spaghetti squash noodles. Add a little heat to the dish with hot smoked paprika in place of the traditional paprika.
