Ingredients

– 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
– 2 tablespoons paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
– 1 cup green olives (pitted and chopped)
– ½ cup walnuts (chopped)
– 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Paprika Chicken with Olive Walnut Vinaigrette is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This ensures a good sear.
2. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4. Sear Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Remove Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken onto a plate and cover it to keep warm.
6. Make Vinaigrette: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, olives, and walnuts. Stir well to combine the flavors and heat for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Plate Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, flipping it in the vinaigrette to coat it well.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

These straightforward steps will guide you to create this flavorful dish effortlessly.
