Delia Smith's books are amongst those I turn to for comfort food. It's not quick but like Bolognaise and Chilli Chicken Paprika is one of the regular things I cook on a weekend to feed us for a couple of meals during the week by whacking the left overs in the oven when I get home from work and boiling some rice. It's a meal that is relatively healthy and full of flavour. It's also relatively cheap (about £2.00 per portion), using good quality chicken thighs and drumsticks with meat that falls off the bone. I think the key things to making this
recipe (which has a classic clip of Delia ) work well are the paprika (sweet smoked rather than the spicy stuff), make sure you seal the chicken well and leave it in the oven for at least 90 minutes (adding the green pepper half way through). Unlike Delia and in an attempt to reduce the calorie value I just add a couple of teaspoons of half fat soured cream or natural yoghurt to each portion once its served rather than a whole pot.
