Paprika Chicken With Cannellini Beans, Quick & Easy

Submitted by Mandy

"I found this recipe in a local paper, made this for dinner last night, served over white rice and was most impressed. Very quick & easy to make and so tasty!!! The recipe says to use full fillets, which I did, but I think that diced chicken would be better and will use that next time."

This is a fantastic and quick weeknight dinner with an interesting taste - we enjoyed the flavors as the paprika adds something unusual. I served it over rice - it was a great one dish meal! I added an extra clove of garlic and next time will probably add a few more for a little extra kick. I will also omit the chicken stock as I do not think it is necessary. Also, canned tomatoes worked fine for me. Thanks again!!

Really liked this dish, very Spanish flavors! I used boneless thighs I did add extra garlic as suggested by other reviewers and it made a difference. I didn't have the wine but I think it would be a nice flavor and will add it next time, if I have it. I also added fresh grated Parmesan as Kittencalskitchen suggested, delicious!! Served it over fresh egg noodles. Will definitely make this again, my 5 yr olds loved it!!

This was certainly fast and flavoursome. I used diced skinless thighs (a personal preferance) and simmered the sauce to thicken it up. We ate this over mashed potatoes for a nice comforting dinner.

very good, I add in some crushed chili flakes and increased the garlic amount, at the end of cooking I mixed in some Parmesan cheese, will make again, this was wonderful, thanks Mandy!

We'd like to give this another half star for taste and ease. We're definitely making this again. Since there were only 2 of us, we used two skinned chicken breasts and smoked paprika but we made the whole amount of sauce. We sliced the chicken breasts after frying and next time, will cube them. We used Great Northern Beans and lime juice rather than lemon. And we were able to use our fresh tomatoes from the garden so we had to cook it a little longer to reduce. Finally, we stirred in 1 cup cooked short grain brown rice.
