My Twist on the Spanish Chicken Recipe

© Everything Family Guide

I want to start by saying that this recipe is so easy and everyone (including the kids) will love it!

Here is what you need:

• 1 lb. or 1/2 kg. chicken (drumsticks or breasts)
• 4 tbsp. of all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. soya sauce
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. Sirachi (optional, for all spice lovers) 
• Salt and pepper to taste (for final garnish)
• 2 tbsp. of butter
• 1 bell pepper (preferably green)
• 1 tomato or 1 cup of diced/canned tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 tsp. of minced garlic

This is what you have to do:

1. In a large Ziploc bag, add the flour, salt, pepper, soya sauce, Sirachi (optional), minced garlic, paprika and the chicken. Now close the bag and work the ingredients so that the chicken pieces are well coated. Set the bag aside for 15 minutes of marination. 
2. In the meantime, chop up the veggies in large chunks. 
3. Now melt the butter in a frying pan on medium heat, and add the coated chicken. Fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes, until its golden brown . Keep in mind that the chicken should remain juicy and don't overcook or you will end up with dry chicken pieces.
4. Turn the heat to high, add the vegetables chunks (bell pepper, tomato, and onion) and satay in the frying pan with the chicken for 1-2 minutes. You can also do this in a pot but to make it easier for yourself, stick to one dish for minimal clean-up.
5. Turn down the heat to low and cover the frying pan with a lid to let the vegetables soak in the chicken juices for 5 minutes.
6. You can now serve it with white rice.

Enjoy! Let me know how it turned out...
