After enjoying a similar dish at a Spanish tapas restaurant, my husband and I were eager to make our own version of this saucy chicken at home. If I want to make it extra healthy, I remove the skin from the chicken after browning. —Ryan Haley, San Diego, California


Test Kitchen tips
  • Baby portobello mushrooms, also known as crimini mushrooms, have a firmer texture and deeper, earthier flavor than white mushrooms.
  • Smoked paprika is made from peppers that are dried over wood fires, giving it a rich, smoky flavor.
  • Take advantage of the flavorful sauce and serve this with a starchy side like couscous or rice.
