Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 60 ml
  • 2 boneless chicken breast 10 oz / 300 grams each
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour 60 grams
  • 1 tsp garlic powder 3 grams
  • 1 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 4 grams
  • 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme 0.50 grams
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine 120 ml
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 15 oz / 425 grams
  • sea salt & black pepper
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken breast over some paper towels and pat dry, then cut each one into 2-inch thick (5 cm) chunks and season with salt & pepper

  2. Add the flour into a bowl, along with the garlic powder and 1/2 tsp (1.25 grams) paprika, season with salt & pepper and whisk together, then coat each piece of chicken in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess flour

  3. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

  4. After a couple of minutes, add in the pieces of chicken, all in a single layer, fry for 3 minutes per side, and then remove from the pan

  5. Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped onion and garlic, mix continuously, after 2 to 3 minutes and the onions are slightly translucent, add in 1 tsp (2.50 grams) paprika and the dried thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the white wine and bay leaves, mix, and then simmer

  6. After 3 minutes, and the alcohol has been cooked off, add in the canned diced tomatoes and season with salt & pepper, mix together, then add the pieces of chicken back into the pan, all in a single layer, and gently flip each one so they're coated in all that goodness

  7. Place a lid on the pan and lower it to a low heat, simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through, and you want to make sure to shake the pan once in a while

  8. Once the chicken is fully cooked (at least 165F - 74C), remove the pan from the heat

  9. Transfer the mixture into a large serving dish and top off with chopped parsley, enjoy!
