Paprika Chicken

Ingredients:

Chorizo sausage - score with your utility knife and peel off the outer 'skin' then slice

Olive oil
1 x large onion chopped into small pieces using food chopper
large pack of chicken thighs
1 x tablespoon of smoked or hot paprika depending on taste
1 x can of chopped tomatoes
1 x can of drained cannellini beans
chicken stock

Equipment:

Utility knife
Deep Covered Baker
Food chopper
Measuring Spoons

Method:
Heat a little olive oil and fry the chorizo to release the paprika into the olive oil, once slightly coloured, take out of frying pan and put into the bottom of the deep covered baker.

Then chop a large onion with your food chopper and fry in the oil (add more if it's looking a little dry) then cut up chicken thighs and add to the onion, then sprinkle over paprika (we like hot, so we use a hot one, but equally as tasty wtih a smoked paprika) coat chicken with this mixture and brown. Pour all into your deep covered baker.

Pour over a can of chopped tomatoes and a drained can of cannelini beans. Add in 300ml of chicken stock and mix.

Put top on and baked in the oven at 150 for two hours.

I serve with small roast chipped potatoes, but equally nice with mash.

Oven Baked Chilli Con Carne

Ingredients:
2 x onions chopped with food chopper
500g of chilled minced beef
1 x can of chopped tomatoes
Chilli to taste, I like it very chilli so I put in 2 teaspoons
2 x cloves of garlic crushed with garlic press
Pinch of salt and pepper
Beef oxo cube
100ml of water

Pampered Chef Equipment used in recipe*:
Deep Covered Baker
Mix n Chop
Food Chopper
Measuring Spoons
Garlic Press

Method:
Preheat oven to 180. Put all of the ingredients in the base of your Deep Covered Baker, mix with a fork and separate the mince slightly and mix sauce. Put on cover and put in the oven for 30 mins.

Take out mix well and break down mince slightly, I use my Mix N Chop then put back in oven for 30 mins. After the 30 mins check it, stir it and then if there is too much fluid in it, turn the heat up to 200 and leave lid off until the sauce has reduced.

I usually turn it down at this point to 150 until I get buddy down in bed then I can enjoy it :-)

I then serve with rice and sour cream.
