Smoked paprika, often labelled as pimentón or smoked Spanish paprika is made from chilli peppers which are smoked typically over oak or beech wood, before being dried and ground to a fine red powder. This key ingredient in most traditional Spanish recipes will add a warming smoky taste to this easy weeknight chicken casserole dish.
You can adjust the “heat factor” of your chicken casserole by choosing either hot or sweet smoked paprika. The main difference is that the hot version is made with the chilli seeds included, whereas they are removed before the grinding in the case of the sweet smoked version.
Sour cream turns this tasty one-pot chicken paprika casserole into a rich and creamy taste sensation while the white wine ensures that the chicken remains juicy and literally falls off the bone. It’s delicious served with mash, long-grain rice or crispy golden potatoes.
