Tips & Dietary Needs

Protein swap – You could swap the chicken thigh for breast or even pork tenderloin.
No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock.
Don’t like capsicum ? Perhaps try a stroganoff instead with mushrooms.
Boost the protein – Replace sour cream with 1 cup cottage cheese blended with 1 Tbsp white vinegar. To increase chicken to 1 kg or 2.2 lb, cook using the conventional or slow cooker methods. Serve with protein pasta.
Dairy-free – Dairy-free Greek yoghurt.
Low carb – Replace cornflour with xanthan gum.
Lower calorie – Halve the butter. Use chicken breast. Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yoghurt or blended cottage cheese.
Paleo – Replace cornflour with xanthan gum. Use dairy-free Greek yoghurt.

From the Testing Team

Tara L – Had this reheated from the freezer tonight. No none even realised it wasn’t freshly cooked. Thawed overnight and gentle reheat in a saucepan. Served with a sides of steam veg and a slice of garlic bread. Most definitely passes the freezer friendly test.
Nicole L – This is delicious and super kid friendly!
Kaz M – If anyone was wondering, a double batch of sauce only in TMX and pasta/veggies cooked on stove makes a MASSIVE pot of vego paprikash. The kid will be happy for at least 2 weeks now!
