Great recipe, nice and easy to make as well.I used smoked Spanish paprika. Made for the Epicurean Queens ZWT5: Spain/Portugal. -
This was good but I was expecting so much more flavor. We love garlic and was surprised how mild it was, I added a little extra brandy in hopes of adding more oomph. I made this with chicken breast, which I pounded a little so they would cook evenly, and followed the suggestion to add a little flour to the spice mix before coating the pieces. I served this with Recipe #322985 . Thanks for sharing your recipe, made for ZWT 5

Great tasting and easy. A favorite for my culinarily-challenged partner to make. -
We are real garlic heads in our house so this went down well! We had it with salad & dauphinois potatoes - excellent. Reviewed for Au/Nz Recipe Swap #14. Thanks Heydarl for a great recipe! :) -
I made this for dinner, but our store didn't have thigh fillets, so I just used regular chicken thighs. This was very quick and easy to make, and the taste was wonderful. Next time I might had some thickner to the sauce and serve it all over noodles or rice. Thanks for posting a great recipe!!!

Live 1 hour north of Sydney, Australia with my husband, Steve. We both work in Sydney, where I work in the Human Resources department of a charity doing IT work.
I barely pick up cookbooks these days, as I cook almost exclusively out of Recipezaar - DH loves the quality & variety of recipes we have now.
I've met some lovely people through Zaar in person & in the forums. When I was in Toronto, Canada in October 2007, I had the thrill of meeting & having dinner with ~Leslie~, AnnieCan and Irmagard and their DHs for dinner. This was a fabulous night & everyone was so lovely & welcoming.
