BA Comments: Serve this Basque-style dish with rice or bread to soak
up all the juices.
Amy's Comments: This was quick and tasty!! I tweaked the original recipe
to make it a little more figure friendly. I used lean smoked ham. I also skinned the chicken and used FF Broth.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 3- to 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 large red bell peppers, cut into strips (about 4 cups)
2 medium onions, halved, cut lengthwise into strips (about 3 cups)
2 cups diced smoked ham steak (such as Nueske's; about 11 ounces)
1 teaspoon Pimentón de La Vera (Spanish smoked paprika) or hot paprika, divided
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth (I used FF)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat oil in heavy wide pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken
with salt and pepper; add to pot. Cook until browned, about 6 minutes
per side. Transfer chicken to bowl. Increase heat to high. Add next 3
ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon paprika to drippings in pot; sauté until
vegetables are soft and light brown, about 8 minutes. Return chicken
to pot; add broth. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon
paprika. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
Uncover; simmer until chicken is tender, about 10 minutes longer.
Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle parsley over; serve.
