Spanish Chicken and Rice image

This Spanish chicken and rice is amazing. It's an extremely aromatic dish with an assortment of Spanish spices to excite your senses. We loved the flavor of the Spanish sausage. Spanish olives add some salt to the dish. This takes chicken and rice to a whole new level. It's a must try.

1-2 - Spanish chorizo sausages, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F/ lower for a fan forced oven.
  • In a large flameproof baking dish (with a lid). If you don't have a flameproof one just cook in a large pan and transfer to the covered baking dish. Heat half the oil.
  • Add chicken. Cook turning occasionally for 5-7 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add sliced sausage to the pan and cook until browned.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining oil, capsicum (green bell pepper), onion, and garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
  • Add turmeric, cumin, paprika, cinnamon sticks, and chili.
  • Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Add wine, tomato, stock, rice, and chicken.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Cover with a lid.
  • Transfer to oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is nearly all absorbed.
  • Remove from oven. Stir through parsley and olives. Serve.
  • You can remove the skin from the chicken before cooking for a bit lower-fat meal.
