Want something full of flavour, is filling and takes 30 minutes? My paprika chicken tagliatelle recipe will get taste buds tingling. In other words, this is one of those dishes that you never want to end and could have for dinner every day. It’s hearty, but an easy chicken recipe that the whole family will love!
You can hardly go wrong with chicken, especially if you get the seasoning right. I love discovering new dishes and experimenting with ingredients, so I altered the Slimming World Paprika Chicken with Tagliatelle Recipe and created my own version. Above all, the paprika chicken is the flavour bomb star of the dish.

What to serve with the paprika chicken tagliatelle ?
The paprika chicken tagliatelle can be eaten on its own. You can also serve with sautéed spinach (or even add this to the pasta mixture), a side salad or homemade soda bread.
It is also great with a glass of white wine, or my personal favourite a cold glass of rosé.
There are 3 different types of paprika
There’s a big difference between sweet, smoked, and hot paprika. Every time I found a recipe that called for smoked or hot paprika, I shrugged and sprinkled in the regular stuff instead. I thought the different varieties didn’t really make a difference, so there wasn’t a need for me to keep three different versions of the same spice on hand. Turns out, I was wrong.
Sweet paprika is typically just labelled as paprika, this spice adds vibrant colour to any dish. It can be sprinkled as a garnish over potato salad, or used as a flavouring for meat.
Hot paprika is the Hungarian variety of paprika and is generally accepted as superior to the rest. This version adds a peppery, spicy kick to any dish. Smoked paprika is made from peppers that are smoked and dried over oak fires. This process gives the red powder a rich, smoky flavour.
