Easy, Healthy & Delicious- My Actifit Report Card: February 12 2019
Today's exercise was my regular line dance class, finished off with some exercise ball and arm work. Now on to the good stuff, tonight's dinner. It's called Paprika Chicken and it's probably my favorite baked chicken recipe. It's also easy to prepare and easy on the budget as well.
You take chicken legs and coat with olive oil. I put the legs in a plastic bag, add the oil, and shake together until coated. Then sprinkle seasoning, paprika and cinnamon over the legs, turning to season both sides.
I made Italian roasted potatoes as well, baking the same time. Just quarter the potatoes, coat with olive oil and add Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Set the oven for 400 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the legs over and bake another 30 minutes. I lined the pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup!
After you turn the chicken put the potatoes in the oven and both will be done in 30 more minutes.
For the vegetables I just steamed a package of frozen stir fry vegetables. I would have preferred fresh broccoli or asparagus, but i didn't have any on hand.
I hope you try the Paprika Chicken and enjoy it as much as we do. And please don't make fun of my 40 year old corning ware plate, those darn things are indestructible, lol.

So you did not fry the chicken with potatoes in an ovenbag then.
Smart way of coating you have

Nope, only used a bag to coat the chicken with the oil. The skin crisps up nicely baking it in the open. It almost looks burnt in the picture, but it's not. That just the way the paprika and cinnamon looks baked on. And the chicken is really juicy.
I will try this, thanks

Wow, now that is what I call one amazing actifit post! Kudos for the steps and thank you for sharing such a nice recipe!
Thank you. It gets challenging to come up with things to say in Actifit when you basically do the same thing every day. I thought it'd be nice to share some healthy (and easy) recipes.
I agree with @Wonderwop ... put me down for a couple of those drumsitcks too please :P
Got plenty, drop on by! I put that pic on your Meaty Monday contest too.
I am hungry at 9 am 😂
I'm not above having a cold chicken leg for breakfast, lol.
Hahahah
Potatoes are good.
For sure, many ways to fix them, and I love them all!
Oh, that chicken sounds divine! I am always looking for new ways to prepare chicken. I will be giving this one a try this week!

Hi Ren, that's why I had tried this in the first place, looking for something different for chicken. And I thought it sounded a little strange - paprika and cinnamon - but the person who gave the recipe really bragged on it. So I tried it, and now I'm really bragging on it! Let me know if you guys like it.
