• 1 tsp Carraway seeds
• 1 dl White wine
• 3 tbsp Paprika powder
• Chicken stock enough to cover the chicken
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour
• Parsley finelly chopped
• 2 tsp Vegeta (croatian seasoning) or use a chicken stock cube or salt
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Dice the chicken.
• In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken and carraway seeds and cook until the chicken is browned.
• Add the paprika powder and the flour and stir well until the chicken is coated.
• Add the tomatoes, wine and chicken broth. Season with vegeta and salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickened 30 minutes.

Notes

My family loves to eat it with spaghetti and cover it with Parmesan with a delicous salad on the side. It also goes well with potato puree or plain cooked potatoes.

Vegeta is Croatian seasoning that uplifts the taste of your food. I use it in a lot of dishes. Although it will not taste the same, you can replace it by salt or a stock cube.
