Spanish Saffron Chicken
Another quick and easy chicken dinner (and I love those). The combination of the saffron and smoked paprika give this dish a light, smoky and slightly bitter flavor as well as a beautiful golden color. Saffron is the world's most expensive spice but you don't need to use a lot to make a big difference.

I prepared this savory Spanish Saffron Chicken dish in a dutch oven, which makes it a one pot meal. Total preparation time was about 20 minutes - let it simmer as directed and you are good to go! This also makes a good meal for company who'll surely be surprised by the palate pleasing flavors.

This recipe is a very good source of protein and Niacin and a good source of Vitamin B6, Phosphorus and Manganese.
