  • Thinly slice capsicum. Slice lemon into wedges.
  • Drain and rinse cannellini beans.

Cook the chicken
2
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
  • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
  • Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Cook the beans
3
  • When the chicken is cooked, wipe out frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cook soffritto mix and capsicum, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add cannellini beans and cook, until warmed through, a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add Nan's special seasoning and tomato paste and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Stir in the water and baby spinach leaves until slightly thickened and wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the beans look dry.

TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The paprika chicken was widely enjoyed, with the smoky depth and lemon lift earning real praise. Some found the stew mild or lacking depth; marinating the chicken for a couple of hours can help boost the flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this quick and straightforward to pull together, with simple steps and minimal fuss.
  • Suggestions: Squeezing extra lemon over the finished dish brightens the flavour, and adding rice makes it more substantial. If the stew looks thin, a splash of water helps, and tasting and seasoning well at the end is key.
  • Leftovers: Portions were generous, and several customers noted they had leftovers to enjoy later.
  • Portions: Most found the dish satisfying and filling, though a few added rice to make it go further.
