An old family favorite ready in half the time, with all the creaminess you crave. An old family favorite ready in half the time, with all the creaminess you crave.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 large white or yellow onion, chopped
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, excess fat removed and chopped into bite-size pieces
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1/4 cup low-sodium or homemade chicken broth
    2 ounces fat-free plain Greek yogurt
    2 cups prepared brown rice
    chopped fresh parsley, optional, for garnish

Tips

Prefer a meatless meal? Swap in tempeh or chickpeas for the chicken.


Directions

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onion the skillet and saute for three minutes, then add the red pepper. After two minutes, add the chicken and the paprika. Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit through, about five minutes.
Add the broth to the pan and use the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any bits that might have stuck.
Remove from heat and stir in the yogurt.
Serve immediately, over the rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Portion size: 1/2 cup rice, 3 ounces chicken and about 1/2 cup veggies

    If you are Bohemian like I am or some other ethnic like Slovak then this is really not Chicken Paprika. It would be served with dumplings egg or potato. It would not have bell pepper in it. While the yogurt is good, sour cream would have been used. I would leave out the peppers. - 2/19/13

    Very good, but it needs more paprika. Next time I make it, I will increase the amount. - 4/16/17

    Why would you use a rice that is pretty much devoid of nutrition? I am amazed as the supposedly healthy recipes that tout such garbage. This stuff has been so processed that anything nutritional in it has been removed. I will try the chicken but use a healthier grain alternative. Deb - 2/19/13

    I will definitely make this again but I will probably double up the sauce as it wasn't saucy enough for us. Thanks!! - 1/30/13

    This was fast to make! As a vegetarian I used the chickpeas suggestion instead of chicken. Double or triple the broth, double the paprika, and use the entire 6 oz tub of yogurt.
    S. cream would also be good. I usually make 1 c of brown rice with 1/2 c of quinoa for more protein but had noodles tonit

    Definitely need to increase the paprika - I use almost a whole bottle of fresh paprika, add half to the chicken while raw and let sit a bit, then add half with the onions. I also doubled the onions and left out the peppers. A dab of tomato paste perks up the broth. And noodles, only noodles! - 1/25/15

    My father in law used to make a dish very similar to this & it was a family favourite. My husband loved it. He wondered how I got this recipe since his dad passed away several years ago. - 9/10/15

    This was very tasty and I was able to cut the ingredients so I only made two servings. This was helpful as I live alone and don't want to eat the same thing more than a couple of times. - 12/31/13

    I tried to make this from memory last night and didn't remember the chicken broth. I used turkey kielbasa for the meat and pasta instead of rice, but I give the recipe a big thumbs up! - 1/27/13
