Chilled Chicken Salad With Paprika Recipes

CHILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts in a frying pan with the vinegar, white wine or water and bring to the boil.
• Lower the heat to a very gentle simmer and cook for 25 minutes until the chicken is done.
• Meanwhile, to start the salad, heat the grill to the highest setting and grill the whole red peppers until they are blistered and blackened all over.
• Remove from the heat, place in a bowl and cover with food wrap. Leave to stand for 10 minutes to make the skins easier to remove.
• When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside to cool on paper towels.
• Peel the black skins from the peppers, discard the core and seeds and cut the flesh into strips. Combine in a salad bowl with the cucumber, salad leaves and parsley leaves.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Cube the cooled chicken and stir in to the sauce. Arrange the salad on serving plates and top with the dressed chicken and serve.
• Note: You may want to add a dash of Balsamic vineger to the sauce if you find it too tart.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
• For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
• Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

WARM SALAD OF CHICKEN LIVERS, SMOKED PAPRIKA & SHERRY

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the sauce into a food processor, then whizz to a rough paste. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the remaining hazelnuts onto a baking sheet, roast for 5 mins until lightly toasted, roughly chop, then set aside.
• Now make the salad - add the olive oil and butter to a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Quickly fry the livers in 2 batches until browned, about 2 mins per batch. Add the sherry, then bubble for a few mins over a high heat. Stir in the sauce and allow it to thicken and heat through. Splash in the lemon juice, then season to taste. Dress the salad leaves with a little sherry vinegar. Spoon the livers and sauce onto serving plates, sprinkle with the toasted chopped hazelnuts, then scatter over the dressed salad leaves and serve straightaway.

ROASTED PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Tuck the wings under the chicken; tie legs together with a piece of kitchen twine. Rub with butter.
• In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, cayenne, and thyme. With dry hands, sprinkle chicken with spice mixture; don't rub. Place chicken in a cast-iron skillet.
• Bake until coating is blackened, 30 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil; continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees and juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove chicken, and let stand 5 minutes before carving. Pour pan juices into a glass measuring cup; skim fat from top. Strain, and serve sauce with chicken.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Mix flour, 2 tablespoons paprika, salt, and pepper on a shallow plate. Dip chicken pieces in mixture to coat.
• Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving oil and drippings in skillet.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the reserved drippings until tender, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet. Pour chicken stock over the chicken mixture. Stir tomato paste into the chicken stock until integrated completely.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the skillet, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Whisk sour cream, 1 teaspoon paprika, and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into the chicken mixture and cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.

MY FAVORITE CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Stir chicken, celery, pecans, mayonnaise, yellow onion, relish, mustard, pepper, dill, lemon juice, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl until well combined. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

MANGO AVOCADO SPICED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and chop lettuce, cabbage, and carrots. Toss together in medium bowl and chill.
• Peel and dice mango and avocado. Set on separate plate. (You can toss this with the salad if you plan to eat it all in one sitting, but if not then keep separate so it is not soggy.).
• Fry bacon in skillet. Drain and set aside.
• Shred chicken. If your chicken is leftover and getting a little dry, toss it in a little bit of the bacon grease or oil of your choice in a small bowl. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper and toss to coat evenly. If you prefer hot chicken you can heat it now. I serve this as a completely cold salad.
• Chop bacon and add to chicken.
• Shred cheese and set aside.
• For the dressing, combine mayo, dijon mustard, honey, prepared mustard, white vinegar, paprika, and black pepper. Combine until smooth and chill.
• Combine all ingredients, dress, garnish with cheese, and serve.
