I had some smoked paprika so this recipe caught my eye. It wasn't the prettiest recipe but it had good flavor. I chose to serve it over orzo even though I really craved spaetzle. There just wasn't time to make spaetzle.
I will add this to my round-up of boneless, skinless chicken thigh recipes.
It's that time of year where I fall apart. I always get overwhelmed by the holidays no matter how much I try not to. Some things just don't help - the alternator on my 2-year old car died Friday. So don't be surprised if posting is a bit sporadic but I have to prioritize.
Question of the Day: Are you ready for the holidays?
You poor thing! I hate car trouble. It is always such a hassle! This looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteNope! Not ready at all!
ReplyDeleteI have followed your blog but never commented. One of my resolutions for this coming year is to do unto others as myself so I am commenting on other's blogs that I follow.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question...yes ! I am ready for the holidays. No, my shopping is not done and what I have bought is not wrapped but I love this time of year. I used to get stressed and overwhelmed until I decided to pay more attention to the real things that matter. Now, I sit back and enjoy them from start to finish ! Happy Holidays !
Heck, no. Let's see....yesterday I picked up a few stocking stuffers and paper Christmas dessert saucers and napkins. Whew, not I bushed! ;)

Hi There! I just wanted to say hello. I recently googled 'boneless skinless chicken thighs' and came up with the link to this recipe on your blog. I'm making it tomorrow night - can't wait! Anyway, I perused your blog a bit more and I'm really excited to try some of the recipes that you've posted!! Thank you for sharing, it all looks so TASTY! I'll be sure to update on how tomorrow's dinner goes. Thanks again! ~Jen
ReplyDeleteLike the previous comment, I was googling according to what was in my fridge. Wanted to do something different besides plain old baked chicken. This recipe was DELICIOUS. My three kids had seconds (even the picky one!). I use skinless boneless chicken a lot for the health benefits, but needed help finding something new to do with it. Thanks for helping me out of a rut.
ReplyDeleteI really want to do this paprika chicken but I want to do it either in the oven or on the stove is that possible?
