Chicken and paprika

After a 'no cooking' evening last night which I will freely admit was the culmination of a particularly lazy 'pyjama day', I thought I'd better lift my game tonight.

One of our regular meals is a 'lemon chicken paprika bake'.

It's really tasty... think chicken sprinkled with olives, chorizo, sliced lemon, garlic, chicken stock and a sprinkle of paprika. It's a case of bung all the ingredients into a dish and bake it for 30 minutes.

I serve it with greens - tonight's were 'fresh from the farm swiss chard' and some green beans. Of course, because H'o'M must have them, I also served potato of some description - tonight's were wedges.

Just looking at this picture though makes me think how perfect this dish is for a post-ski dinner. It consists of easy to find ingredients that most people eat, it's simple to ramp up or down for any number of eaters, it's filling and full of protein to assist in the next day's exertions down the runs! I really must remember this one next time we go skiing!
