Creamy paprika chicken

The sun-dried tomato in vinaigrett­e elevates the sauce – even in the short cooking time – to something special.

Serves 4 • Preparatio­n time: 20 minutes

• Cooking time: 15 minutes

• 4 chicken breast fillets, cubed

• 8 sun-dried tomatoes in vinaigrett­e, thinly sliced

• 1 red onion, thinly sliced

• 200g peppers, thinly sliced

• 125ml white wine

• 250ml cream

• 10ml paprika

• 500g potato gnocchi

1 Mix the chicken with 60ml of the vinaigrett­e from the sun-dried tomatoes and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat a pan and fry the chicken pieces until goldenbrow­n. Spoon the meat out as soon as it is nicely browned and fry the onions and peppers in the same pan until glossy. Add a dash of olive oil, or even water if necessary, to soften the vegetables.

Place the chicken back in the sauce and cook until heated through and done.
