Paprika chicken with garlic & honey – smokey
I know I know I have a lot of chicken recipes, but I love it! So here we have another easy flavour packed Tray Bake dinner (my favourite type) Smoked paprika chicken with garlic & honey on a bed of delicious vegetables
The Smoked paprika with the soft slightly honey sweet tasty chicken on a bed of flavour packed veggies is just bliss.
It’s the perfect week night tray bake – just chuck it in the oven!
Just look at it and it’s so easy – I promise
Smoked Paprika
So what actually is Paprika?
Paprika is made by drying a particular type of sweet pepper, it is then ground to a fine, rich red powder.
So what about the smoked variety?
Well it’s made from dried pimiento peppers and then smoked over an oak fire Then it’s ground and milled into fine powder.
I love this complex flavour and vivid colour and use it quite often in my recipes.
I love that it’s not ‘hot & spice’ but complex and warm and the smoked note just adds so much to so many recipes

What to serve with your paprika chicken
To be honest I have it just as it is as a light midweek supper, as it has so many veggies in it! However if you want too stretch it a little further and made a full meal out of it, it’s simple
You can serve with:
- Steamed broccoli and peas
- A jacket potato maybe
- New potatoes
- Lovely with brown rice
It really is so versatile
I hope you have a try and love it as much as we do
