Baked Paprika-Parmesan Chicken




Chicken thighs were on sale and I wanted to make something with ingredients I had in the house. I subbed smoked paprika for regular paprika and also used fresh parm. 

Found this recipe on Allrecipes. Gabe and I thought it was really good.



Ingredients:

1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese ( used fresh)
2 teaspoons paprika ( used smoked)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves ( used 6 chicken thighs)
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Prepare a shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Combine the flour, parmesan, paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium size bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

 Dip the chicken in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture. 

Place in the baking dish, and pour the melted butter evenly over the chicken.

Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese has browned, and the chicken has cooked.

I used chicken thighs and they were cooked in 55 minutes. The chicken is done when internal temp is 165 degrees.

  2. This sounds so good. I am going to have to try this one. You always use different spices. I have never seen smoked Paprika. I use regular paprika in lots of things. Where do you find these different spices? Paddi, what is Etouffee? Never heard of this either. I am late getting on here today, but I am glad that I did.

    1. Myra,
      I discovered Etouffee when we were in New Orleans. I didn't get to try it there so when I found a recipe at home I tried it. It is a Cajun/Creole dish that is served on rice. I had tried shrimp Creole, and Jambalya and I was really confused as to what the deal was. Oh my gosh I fell in love with it and the smoked paprika is the most important seasoning. Etouffee means smothered. I make it with shrimp and chicken thighs.

    1. I got it back home so I bet you can find it. If you have a TJ Max they usually carry it also in the food department.
