Cooking Steps

Make Slaw
1

• In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, vinegar, mayonnaise, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, and 1⁄2 tsp salt (1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings). Set aside until ready to serve.

Cook Chicken
2

• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with Savory Paprika Blend, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Finish & Serve
3

• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds. • Fill tortillas with slaw (draining first), chicken, and as much salsa and sour cream as you like. • Divide tacos between plates. Serve with tortilla chips and any remaining salsa on the side.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty paprika chicken, though some found it mild. The tangy slaw divided opinions; consider reducing vinegar for a milder taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, making it a great weeknight meal option. Several appreciated the fresh-cooked elements over pre-made components.
  • Suggestions: Try adding cilantro for extra freshness 🌿. Consider serving in burritos with rice or using chips as a crunchy taco topper.
  • Portions: Some found the chicken quantity a bit skimpy for the number of tacos. Consider adding extra protein or sides for heartier appetites.
  • Toppings: A few wished for more salsa and sour cream. You might want to have extra on hand to customize to taste.
