How To Cook: |
|

1. Wash the chicken and cut it into serving-size pieces (or have your butcher do this). Dredge each piece in flour.
|
2. Arrange, skin-side down, in a 12-inch by 9-inch rectangular baking dish with the larger, thicker portion of each piece to the outside and the back pieces in the center.
|
3. Sprinkle on the olive oil, chopped onion, diced ham, minced garlic, and minced parsley. Pour the wine in around the edges so as not to disturb the food arrangement.
|
4. Sprinkle on the paprika; salt and pepper lightly. Cook, covered with wax paper, for 20 minutes in the microwave oven.
|
5. Meanwhile, shell and devein the shrimp. Wash them and dredge them with flour.
|
6. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken and then turn the chicken pieces over so that the shrimp is in the sauce and the chicken on top, skin-side up.
|
7. Again, sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper. Continue cooking, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until tender.
