Paprika Chicken with Creamy Paprika Sauce (an easy all-in-one Thermomix dinner)

Paprika Chicken with Creamy Paprika Sauce (an easy all-in-one Thermomix dinner) - Quirky Cooking

 Last night I got home late after a busy day and didn’t have dinner organised, so it was ‘Thermomix to the rescue’ once again! I had a quick think, and this is what I came up with. Nothing fancy, just an easy and tasty dinner with basic ingredients, that took all of 25 minutes to make. Sometimes that’s just what we need when we can’t be bothered, right? (It is really yummy though, and the chicken breasts are amazingly tender and juicy when steamed!)

 This fed our family of six and there were plenty of leftovers, which is always a bonus since everyone generally wants dinner for breakfast at our house. 

 This recipe is gluten free, and egg free, and if you omit the butter is also dairy free. The sauce is blended with cashews to make it creamy, but if you can’t have nuts, see the nut free variation below. I’ve added some tips for those of you without a Thermomix, so you don’t miss out.

{Update} For those of you with a TM5, make sure you have 1 litre (1000g) of liquid in the bowl when cooking rice, or you’ll find it won’t cook through properly. You may also need to cook for 25-30 mins instead of 20-25 mins.

See also the notes at the end of the recipe for a GAPS/Paleo version!!

Note: You can find Fine sea salt, Aussie Kibble Pepper and Organic Garlic for this recipe in my online store!

Save Recipe
Print
Rice
  1. 900g water if using a TM31; 1000g water if using a TM5
  2. 380g basmati rice
Veges
  1. (these are just suggestions, use what you have)
  2. 3 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
  3. 200g green beans, topped and tailed
  4. 1-2 zucchini, thinly sliced
  5. 150g frozen corn
Chicken
  1. 600-700g chicken breast fillets, sliced in 2cm thick pieces
  2. smoked paprika powder (approx 1 tsp)
  3. herb salt (eg. Herbamare)
  4. garlic powder (approx 1/2 tsp)
  5. 1 Tbsp butter or ghee (optional)
Sauce
  1. 60g raw cashews
  2. 60g water
  3. 2 tsp chicken or vegetable stock paste (my chicken stock paste recipe here)
  4. 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
  5. (See notes below for nut free version)
Instructions
  1. Pour water into mixing bowl.
  2. Weigh rice into steaming basket and rinse well, then place basket inside mixing bowl.
  3. Place chicken pieces onto Varoma tray and sprinkle with paprika, herb salt and garlic powder, and dot with butter or ghee if using.
  4. Place Varoma into position with lid on.
  5. Turn speed dial to speed 5 for a few seconds to wash the water through the rice. (That's my little trick to make sure the top of the rice cooks well and you don't end up with crunchy bits.)
  6. Begin cooking for 20 mins/Varoma/speed 2 while you cut up the veges, adding them to the dish as you go. (It takes about 10 minutes for the steam to really start filling the Varoma, so it's easy enough to get the veges cut up in that time.)
  7. At the end of the cooking time, check that the chicken is cooked; add a couple more minutes if not.
  8. Remove chicken, vegetables and rice to Thermoservers or serving dishes. (Or if you're having an "I don't feel like doing heaps of dishes" night, just leave them in the Varoma and basket and set aside.)
  9. Add all the sauce ingredients to the little bit of liquid left in the bowl. (There should only be about 3cm of water left as the rice has absorbed most of it.)
  10. Blend 1 min/speed 9. Scrape down lid and sides of bowl with spatula and blend again if needed, until smooth. Season to taste.
  11. Serve the rice onto plates, top with veges and chicken, and drizzle with sauce.
GAPS/Paleo version
  1. Instead of rice, you could make either cauliflower rice or cauliflower mash. For cauliflower rice, cut 600g cauliflower into florets, and chop in Thermomix bowl 5 sec/reverse/speed 5. Remove to internal steamer basket and set aside. Reduce water to 500g, begin cooking, add steamer basket to bowl 10 mins into cooking time. (You may need to tip off a little water before making the sauce - you only need about 3cm water left in the bowl.)
  2. For the cauliflower mash version, see my recipe for cauliflower mash (on blog), place all mash ingredients in bowl, cook 20 mins or until chicken is cooked through, then remove Varoma and blend. Remove mash to a serving dish, leaving about 3cm of mash in the bowl. Add sauce ingredients, doubling the water, and blend.
  3. Omit corn from recipe for a GAPS version - add in some diced pumpkin, squash or peas.
Nut free version
  1. Leave out the cashews and add 250g coconut cream instead, with the 2-3 tsp vege stock paste and 1 tsp paprika powder. Warm it up a bit, 1 min/90C/speed 4. Season to taste.
Non Thermomix version
  1. Pour 100ml boiling water over the raw cashews and allow to soak (covered) while the meal cooks. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Cook the chicken and vegetables in two layers in a steamer, or in a large frypan with a lid, over med-low heat, until done. Blend the soaked cashews with soaking water and remaining sauce ingredients in a powerful blender until smooth and creamy. Season to taste. (Massel stock powder can be used instead of stock paste.)

      Hi Jessica, this recipe makes approx. 6 serves. You won’t be able to double the recipe (maybe slightly increase the amount of rice to 400g and chicken to 1kg – just check the rice and chicken are cooked and add more time if needed). xx

    Hi, I’ve tried this a couple of times but I need to make some adjustments. My thermo doesn’t reach Varoma temp for about 8mins, I have to add about this much cooking time on to get the chicken to be cooked, and at the end I’ve still got about 3/4 of the water left. I tried to guess the ‘few cm’s’ described to make the sauce with (i could see quite a lot of the blade sticking out) but I was way off and my sauce is really thin despite adding more cashews to try and thicken it up.
    Not sure why mine is working out so differently but I’m keen to get it right as this is such a healthy and easy meal to make. Any ideas for me?

      This recipe was developed in 2018 for the TM31, so it will be a little different for newer Thermomix models. You’ll need to cook longer, as the bowl is bigger and you need 1 litre of liquid when using the Varoma for steaming. There is an updated version of this recipe in my new cookbook, Simple Healing Food if you have that? I will try and get back to this one and update soon!

      Hi Amanda! Herb salt is good quality salt (normally sea salt) flavoured with dried herbs. We like the Herbamare brand you can find at the supermarket. 🙂

      Add the coconut cream to the liquid left in the bowl along with stock paste or salt and paprika. Omit the extra water.

    Love this recipe and can’t wait to try it! Just a questions though with the sauce, do you add the 60g ot water to the water already in the bowl from the rice?

    Reply
    • QuirkyJo says:
      3 years ago

      Yes, when the rice is finished cooking there shouldn’t be much liquid left in the bowl – but if there is, you can leave the extra water out. Hope that helps.

      If you have a TM5 you will need to add another 100g water, otherwise the rice will be dry on top.

    I have made this before and it’s definitely a winner! However today I the cashews I thought I had turned out to be almonds. Would the sauce be ok with almonds? Unfortunately I have no other nuts and still need it to be df gf ef.

    This recipe is just amazing! We have it a few times a month and it’s a hit with the whole family. I usually just use a frozen pea/corn/capsicum or carrot mix with some sliced zucchini as my vegetable. Anything else doesn’t seem to cook as well unless very thinly sliced. The sauce is divine!!!

    Cooked the paprika chicken for the first time. I’m no stranger to paprika chicken. Back in the 80’s it was one of my signature dinner party favourites. This version is so healthy and so delicious. I changed the sauce up a bit. Coconut milk and a handful of cashew as I didn’t have enough. Didn’t have stock so I left it out. Added garlic salt and porcini salt. Just a little bit amazing. Thsnk Jo.

I love the tahini dressing as it makes it so filling and tasty - you could add a good sprinkle of toasted seeds too if you like! Serve on its own for a light meal, or with roast lamb or grilled fish or steak (or whatever you like really 😄) for a bigger meal. Yum!!

Today’s podcast is with David Westbrook @dave_westbrook_, a farming and business coach at @farmownersacademy, and we’re chatting about working smarter, not harder!

[Swipe left to see my most recent podcasts!]

In our frantically busy society, it's easy to get caught up in the "busyness equals success" trap. In this podcast, David shares his insights on how to stop glorifying "busy" and transition to working in a way that aligns with your values, and working smarter rather than harder. He gives plenty of down-to-earth, practical advice that will benefit your daily life, whether you're a farmer, a business person, a busy mum trying to keep up with all the cooking and organising for the family, or a teenager working on keeping up with school assignments!

We chat about:
- how a health crisis in David's family led him to regenerative farming
- how he changed the way he worked so he could focus more on health and family life
- top tips for time management
- slowing down to speed up, and working smarter not harder
- making a 'stop doing' list
- the 'brick theory' (also known as the 'brain dump')
- the 'traffic light theory' for prioritising tasks
- setting goals & creating your ideal week
- making a 'default diary'
- the power of your thoughts
- harnessing your dreams to change your life

Follow David at @dave_westbrook_ and also the @farmownersacademy for podcasts and tips that will inspire you to work smarter not harder! ✨

Oh guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… I star Oh guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… I started podcasting again!! 🎉🎉🎉 It’s been a while - I couldn’t keep up with everything while I was finishing my cookbook so my podcast “Quirky Cooking Chats” was a bit hit and miss last year! But baby, I’m back!! 😍 Tune in on Fridays!

Here’s part of the intro of my last podcast, “Creating Healthy Habits” - all about building new habits with tiny steps so they’re sustainable… then nurturing them so they grow and become an everyday part of your life. Tap on the link in my profile then on this video to watch the whole podcast.

You’ll find “Quirky Cooking Chats” on my YouTube channel, and also on Spotify and Apple and Google Podcasts. I’ve moved over to my own channel so this is kind of like “Season 2”! You’ll see 2 episodes so far on the new channel, with another being released tomorrow. Woo!! 🎉🎉🎉

I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this delicious potato bake I shared in my stories on Monday - another amazing creation by my sister Joye. 😍 The lemon zest is a genius addition! So here it is, in her own words… she took a quick break from her gardening to write this down for us!! 😁🤗

✨Potato Bake✨

Equal amounts potato and sweet potato, peeled, sliced thinly, parboiled.
(I used 3 sweet and 3 regular)

Butter baking dish, layer potatoes.

Sauce:
1 cup cream
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt 
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion flakes
Zest of a lemon
Sprinkling of thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix together and pour over potatoes. Cover with grated cheese, bake etc

You'd have to adjust liquid amounts, so that it doesn't just coat it. It's got to be sitting in a puddle of it, so to speak.
————————————————

Yep, she’d rather be cooking or gardening than writing recipes 😄 so I’ll add some more details below in case you need it…

- If you don’t cope well with lactose, you could swap the cream for 24 hour sour cream and yoghurt*, or make cashew milk and use that without straining out the pulp so it slightly thickens, plus a little coconut yoghurt if you like. 

(*24 hour fermenting results in an almost completely lactose-free yoghurt/sour cream - tap on the link in my profile then on this photo for my 24 hour yoghurt and sour cream recipes and info). 

- Use as much cheese as you like, or leave it out if you’re dairy free. For dairy free, you could add a little non-fortified savoury yeast flakes to the sauce for a cheesy flavour - about two teaspoons.

- We used a 26x18cm dish.

- Oven temp was 180C (fan-forced) and it baked for about 30 mins (just until lightly browned).

Easy peasy! Enjoy 🤗🤗

I’ve put my order in for a coffee table because the Qld maple is so beautiful! (What do you think, Quirky coffee tables next? 😂)

If you’ve never tried pumpkin pie before, you need to!! I love how such basic ingredients like pumpkin, honey, coconut cream, egg yolks, butter, spices and almond meal can be transformed into a creamy, spicy, comfort-food treat the whole family loves! (Especially when it’s served with a dollop of cream or ice cream… 😁) You can find a few different ice cream recipes in my cookbooks, but we had a “treat day” and served it with ice cream from our local, organic dairy, @mungallicreek. ☺️

This Pumpkin Pie recipe is in my “Simple, Healing Food” cookbook, and in “A Taster” eBook. ❤️ The recipe is gluten free, grain free and free from refined sugars and starches, and there are instructions for equally delicious nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free variations. 

I hope you love it! 🤗

I had visitors this morning, and half an hour befo I had visitors this morning, and half an hour before they arrived I was desperately trying to find something for morning tea 🤔! I had no treats in the freezer, no blanched almond meal left, the pâté was frozen solid… I did have some whole almond flour and some raw cashews though, so I made a half batch of my Almond Meal Pastry using a mixture of milled cashews and whole almond flour. I pressed the pastry into muffin cups and baked for 10 mins or so at 180C, while making the lemon butter. While the pastry cooled, I chilled the lemon butter in the freezer, then filled the tart shells and topped with whipped cream. My friend Gabi (who grows and dries the freeze-dried raspberries and fruit you’ll see in my online store) brought some of her freeze-dried butterfly pea flowers for me to play with, so I sprinkled some over the whipped cream… Voila! An amazing morning tea without too much effort! Sooo delicious. I think I need to get these butterfly pea flowers in my store, don’t you?!! 😍

You can find the Almond Meal Pastry recipe in my cookbooks and also on the blog (the Chicken Pot Pies recipe); and the Lemon Butter is also on my blog. Another delicious variation is the Passionfruit Butter Tarts in my Simple, Healing Food cookbook! 😍
