RECIPE TIPS
1. If you want an even healthier recipe, you can remove paprika or replace it with an healthier spice.
2. If you want to eat the chicken later or another day, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container (don't forget to let the chicken cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator).
3. For a juicier and tender chicken recipe, we recommend cooking the stew over medium-low or low heat. It takes a little longer to cook, but the recipe absorbs the flavors much more.
