Creamy Paprika Chicken & Rice Bake

Name: Creamy Paprika Chicken & Rice Bake
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 500 g Chicken breast; 1 Bell pepper; 1 Red onion; 200 ml Double cream; 100 g Cheddar cheese; 600 ml Chicken stock; 1 tbsp Paprika; 1 tsp Chopped garlic; 250 g Basmati Rice

One for those evenings when you want something comforting but can't face standing over the hob. Everything cooks together in one dish, so the rice soaks up all the creamy, smoky paprika flavours while the chicken stays perfectly tender. It's the kind of dinner that feels like you've made loads of effort, when really the oven's done most of the work. Bonus points for only having one dish to wash up afterwards – because we've all got enough on our plates already. 🍽️

Whole family liked this one, we might add a little bit more garlic and paprika to the mix next time but overall it was a hit!

I don’t have any double cream! 😩 is there anything I can use instead please? Just thrown my crème fraiche as it was out of date. Only thing I have really is cream cheese, milk or regular cheese. Will any of those work. Thanks xxx

Use the cream cheese, whisk it together with the chicken stock before you add the rice and veggies. Let me know how it goes! Xx
