It’s been a while since I last posted anything on food. So to make up, here are my top 3 ingredients that I’ve been cooking with of late and a recipe that combines all of them. List is of no particular order.

-
1. smoked paprika
-
-
2. sweet chilli sauce

3. Philadelphia cream cheese
1. Smoked Paprika
Don’t just get the next paprika you see in the shops. Make sure you pick up the Spanish smoked paprika (pimienton) as they are tastier. You’ll usually find these from deli or specialised Spanish shops.
2. Sweet Chilli Sauce
Go visit your nearest Asian shop/grocer. Don’t worry if it says it’s a dipping sauce. They will do.
3. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Yes, this lovely breakfast delight can also spice up your dishes. If available, I suggest that you get the sweet chilli flavour. If not, then keep to the regular/standard one. Guaranteed to be available in major shops.
Now, here’s the recipe. As always, I’m rubbish at measurements so I recommend that you add as you find necessary.
Smoked and Creamy Chicken
Ingredients:
smoked paprika
sweet chilli sauce
Philadelphia cream cheese
chicken breast or thigh fillets (de-boned) – chop or slice into bite sizes
finely chopped garlic
coarsely chopped onion
salt & pepper to taste
olive oil
- Heat olive oil in a deep pan.
- Put in garlic and onion. Leave for a couple of minutes to sweat the onions.
- Mix in the chicken pieces.
- Season the chicken with the smoked paprika. Continuously stir until chicken is cooked.
- Pour in the sweet chilli sauce. Lower fire. Leave to simmer.
- About 2 minutes before serving, mix in generous dollops of the Philadelphia cream cheese.
Add salt & pepper to your tastes. Serve with pasta or boiled rice. Lastly, enjoy!
