2 garlic cloves, minced

1½ tsp sweet paprika

How to make it:

Heat oven to 220 °C / 425 °F.

Toss raw fries in olive oil and salt. Bake 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.

In a skillet, cook chicken in oil for ~6 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

In same pan, cook onion until soft. Add garlic + paprika. Cook briefly.

Add chicken back. Pour in cream, stir in sour cream and mustard. Simmer until thickened (~5–7 min).

Swap cream for coconut cream if dairy-free.

Great with rice or pasta instead of fries.
