Soured cream is an important ingredient for German cooking, as is paprika! Creamy paprika sauce made from these two ingredients pairs well with a plethora of proteins, but here we're using chicken as an homage to chicken paprikash.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Slice the potatoes into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel).

Pop the potato rounds onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over the dried thyme, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film. Pop onto a board, then give it a bash with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2cm thick. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Once hot, lay in the chicken. Fry until golden brown, 5-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a board, cover with foil and rest for a couple of mins.

Pop your pan back on medium-high heat a with a drizzle of oil if needed, (no need to clean). Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the smoked paprika and half the garlic. Stir-fry for 30 secs.

Stir in the creme fraiche, chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Warm through until everything's piping hot, 2-3 mins. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Add the chicken and turn to coat in the sauce, then remove from the heat. Cover to keep warm.

Heat a drizzle of oil in another large frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the cabbage and remaining garlic and stir-fry for 2 mins.

Season with salt and pepper, add a splash of water, mix well and cover with a lid (or foil). Cook until just tender, 3-4 mins. Once cooked, remove from the heat.

Just before serving, reheat the chicken if needed.
