Grilled chicken marinated in a sauce made from red paprika powder, refreshing sour lemon, and garlic is a menu item that looks bright and energizing. Paprika powder looks similar to chili powder, but since it is a seasoning made from powdered paprika, it does not have a spicy taste. Even people who don’t like spicy food will enjoy it.
Juicy Baked Chicken with Paprika and Lemon is a flavorful and colorful dish that’s perfect for the whole family. Marinated in a mild blend of red paprika powder, zesty lemon juice, and garlic, this oven-baked chicken offers a bright, refreshing taste without any spiciness. Unlike chili powder, paprika adds rich color and gentle flavor, making this recipe ideal even for those who avoid spicy foods ๐Ÿ˜Š.
