Chicken with peppers, Smoked Ham, and Paprika

This vibrant chicken with peppers, smoked ham, and paprika is a wonderful example of a Mediterranean-style tray-pan that is both hearty and healthy. The base of the dish relies on the natural sweetness of sautéed red peppers and onions, which meld perfectly with the salty depth of diced smoked ham. A touch of Pimentón de La Vera adds a characteristic smoky warmth that elevates the lean chicken, creating a rich sauce without the need for heavy fats or creams.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises lean protein and high-fibre vegetables, making it an excellent choice for a balanced evening meal. It is naturally low in carbohydrates but remains incredibly satisfying thanks to the bold savoury flavours. Serve it simply with a side of steamed greens or a small portion of brown rice for a wholesome, homemade dinner that the whole family can enjoy.
