The Healthy Cook: Cook once, eat twice
This smoky, juicy chicken tastes like it just came off the grill. That’s why you’re going to want to sauté enough for tonight’s dinner (for two) and tomorrow’s lunch (for one). Mmm.
Smokin’ Paprika Chicken
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. ground coriander
¼ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs. olive oil
3 6 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the chicken. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
- In a large non-stick pan, sauté the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-8 minutes, turning once.
