Best Chicken Chorizo Rice Pot Recipes

SPANISH CHORIZO RICE

Steps:

• In a large, non-stick frying pan or French pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and fry, until the chorizo has become crispy and browned around the edges. Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside for later.
• Leaving the oil from the cooked chorizo in the pan over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, pepper and chilli powder and stir until fragrant. Add the rice and stir for a few minutes, until the rice becomes clear.
• Add the vegetables, stock and tomato paste and stir. Bring to a low simmer.
• Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until the rice has almost cooked through. You may need to stir the rice once or twice to prevent sticking. Keep an eye on the amount of stock in the dish, as it will absorb into the rice while cooking. Add a little more, if required.
• Add the chorizo back into the pan, stir and cover. Turn the heat off and allow to sit, covered, for around 5 minutes.
• Stir through the lime juice and parsley and serve immediately, with extra lime wedges.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO RICE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet or pot over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add to the skillet along with the chorizo; cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Move the chicken and chorizo to one side of the pan and stir in the tomato paste, rice and capers. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the peas, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Let rest, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Serve with lemon wedges.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO RICE POT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the chicken pieces on all sides - you may have to do this in batches. Remove from the dish and put to one side.
• Lower the heat, add the onion and pepper, and gently cook for 10 mins until softened. Add the garlic and chorizo, and cook for a further 2 mins until the chorizo has released some of its oils into the dish. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min more.
• Return the chicken pieces to the dish along with the thyme, white wine and stock. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover the dish with a tight-fitting lid and lower the heat. Cook for 30 mins.
• Tip in the rice and stir everything together. Cover, set over a low heat and cook for a further 15 mins, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the cooking liquid. Remove from the heat and leave the dish to sit for 10 mins to absorb any remaining liquid. Season to taste and scatter with parsley to serve.
