Sweet Paprika Chicken.
It’s one of my new favorite recipes. Slightly sweet from honey, with a smoky, delightful undertone from the paprika.
Another great weeknight dinner that’s easy to throw together to wow your family!
Pin it for later!

Do you think this recipe could be made using maple syrup in pace of honey. It sounds so delicious but we have a honey intolerance in the family.
Life Made Full says
Hi, Donna! I’m sure that would work fine!
Renée says
Holy Cow this was delicious. I didn’t have avocado oil and my family doesn’t like coconut so I just used olive oil. I cut chicken breasts into “wing” size pieces and they loved it! I’ve recently gone gluten free and mostly grain free to help decrease brain fog, anxiety and depression and have a hard time finding good healthy substitutes that my family will eat. Thank you so much!

Very nervous! I’m going to make this right before we leave to go to Bible study. So if this doesn’t turn out right, I’m screwed. I pray this is delicious for I have a very picky family.

I think they’ll love it! Let me know!

Will this work with Chicken thighs as well?
Shanti Landon says
Sure! You most likely will need to add a little cook time, though! =)
Debra says
Hello, I was wondering, is this for regular paprika, or smoked? thanks!
Shanti Landon says
Hi, Debra! I have used both and it’s great either way! The original recipe was regular paprika, though. Hope that helps!
