One of my favourite chicken meals. Baked smoked paprika chicken and a side of mandarin salad under 30 minutes. Eating healthy is not tough when you’ve got simple recipes. My favourite ingredient for this dish is the smoked paprika. I love this spice that I use it in almost all my baked proteins. The tangy and fresh mandarin salad is a delicious combination to this chicken dish.
Here’s the recipe for this meal.
