Spanish Chicken with Peppers

Submitted by Sylvie Fortin

"Adapted from a recipe I found in the Canadian Living magazine. I've made it twice with perfect results each time. If you like your spanish chicken a little more spicy, like we do, add a bit more cayenne and maybe even some cumin seeds."

This recipe is delicious and reminds me of the wonderful food I had when I visited Spain last year. I got two meals out of this and still had sauce left over, which I have frozen to use next time I make chicken breasts or legs. Merci beaucoup, Sylvie!

This was great! I will definitely make this again. Next time I would cut back on the paprika a little.

Very tasty and fairly easy to make. I think that next time I'll cut the paprika a bit - I found it just a little overwhelming.

I can't thank you enough for this great recipe. I had everything on hand to make it (apart from the chicken, but including fresh thyme and a chunk of prosciutto) and I love that. It was an easy recipe to follow, looked beautiful (I have tried to photograph it) and tasted fantastic.
