15-Minute Meals

If you’re hungry and don’t have a whole lot of time on your hands, this makes a great mini-meal that is ready in 15 minutes. However, this recipe will only work if you have decent paprika with real flavor to it.

Paprika Chicken
Serves 1

1 clove garlic
3/4 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 1/4 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 skinless boneless chicken breast (1 chicken tender cut)

Rub chicken with a small amount of paprika; set aside. Heat olive oil in a small skillet to medium heat. Slice the garlic clove into thin (1/8 inch or thinner) slices. Add garlic and paprika to oil; cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through), rotating the meat midway through. If the garlic begins to overcook, place garlic slices on top of chicken to cool.

Serve chicken and sauce with a side of fresh spinach.
