Paprika Chicken with Avocado Salsa

This simple, but delicious paprika chicken with avocado salsa can be on your table in less than 20 minutes!

I am one of those people who can eat chicken for many consecutive days, or even meals, and not get tired of it. Granted, not the same exact meal, but chicken nonetheless. J, however, is not. He’d prefer not to have it more than once a week, if we’re being honest. But he could eat venison it various forms every day with no problem.

Men. Right?

Granted, there is the saying about another boring chicken recipe for a reason. I guess there are a lot of them out there? And people make them often? I can only speak for myself and my kitchen, but I try to keep things varied and full of flavor. Like this paprika chicken.

It’s the perfect weeknight meal – taking less than 20 minutes to prepare, and it is far from boring in flavor! Even the pickiest of eaters won’t be able to resist. Unless the don’t like avocado. In which case…I just have no words. Because, avocados are life y’all.

Also, paprika is a grossly underused spice. Not only does it give food a great color, but it adds such a great flavor – and there are so many varieties of it! Regular, Hungarian, Smoked, Sweet. So many flavor possibilties.

This chicken can be grilled on a pit, cooked in a skillet or a grill pan. However you make it, it will be amazing. And you will be in love.

    Don't feel bad, Jaida. We've lived in our place 4 years. Still no stuff on the walls. My 8 month old son only JUST had his room painted. The 3 year old is still waiting.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
