Recipe Chicken And Chorizo

CHICKEN & CHORIZO PAELLA

Steps:

• Peel and finely slice the garlic, peel and roughly chop the onion and carrot. Finely chop the parsley stalks, then roughly chop the chorizo and chicken thighs.
• Put a lug of oil into a large lidded shallow casserole or paella pan on a medium heat, add the garlic, onion, carrot, parsley stalks, chorizo, chicken and paprika, and fry for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Deseed and chop the pepper, then add to the pan for a further 5 minutes.
• Stir through the tomato purée and crumble in the stock cube, then add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes so it starts to suck up all that lovely flavour.
• Pour in 750ml of boiling water and add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Pop the lid on and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly from the outside in and from the inside out, and adding a splash of water if needed.
• Stir in the peas and prawns, replace the lid, and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until hot through.
• Season to perfection, then chop the parsley leaves, scatter them over the paella, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown 2 chopped chicken breasts for 5-8 mins until golden.
• Remove and set aside. Tip in the 1 diced onion and cook for 3-4 mins until soft.
• Add 1 thinly sliced red pepper, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 75g sliced chorizo and 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, and cook for 5 mins more.
• Stir the chicken back in with 250g long grain rice, add the 400g can of tomatoes and 350ml chicken stock. Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO PAELLA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over a high heat. Brown the chicken all over - don't cook completely. Once browned, transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to low, add the onions and cook slowly until softened, about 10 mins. Add the garlic, stir for 1 min, then toss in the chorizo and fry until it releases its oils.
• Stir in the spices, then tip in the rice. Stir to coat the rice in the oils and spices for about 2 mins, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, return the chicken to the pan and simmer for about 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Add the peas to the pan and simmer for a further 5 mins until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender. Season well and serve with the lemon and parsley.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO RAGU

Steps:

• Fry the chorizo over a medium heat in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish for 5 mins or until it releases its oil and starts to char at the edges. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins more or until soft. Tip in the garlic and cook for 2 mins before stirring in the paprika and sundried tomatoes. Add the chicken thighs and fry for 2 mins each side until they are well coated in the spices and beginning to brown.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stock, and turn the heat down. Cover and cook for 40 mins until the chicken is falling apart and the sauce is thick. Stir the lemon juice through. Serve by piling spoonfuls of the ragu into hot jacket potatoes with parsley sprinkled over and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.

ONE PAN SPANISH CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO, TOMATO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• Combine the Rub ingredients in a small bowl. Slather over the chicken.
• Boil or microwave the potatoes until slightly undercooked.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep fry pan or oven proof casserole dish over high heat.
• Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook unit light brown - about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Then turn and cook the other side until a slightly deeper brown - about the same time. Remove into a big bowl.
• Add the chorizo and fry until light brown on each side - about 1 minute (each side). Remove into the same bowl as the chicken.
• If the pan is looking dry (depends on fattiness of chicken and chorizo), add 1 tbsp of olive oil. I did not need this.
• Add the garlic, capsicum (bell pepper) and onion and sauté for 2 minutes until the capsicum is slightly charred. It will be extra charred from the dark brown residue from the chorizo and chicken.
• Add the canned tomatoes and oregano and stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Then add the potato, chicken, chorizo and cherry tomatoes. Nestle the chicken in so it is half submerged in the tomato.
• Bring to simmer, then cover with a lid (I use a lid from a large pot) or foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and dark brown.
• Serve, garnished with fresh oregano leaves if desired.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
• Lightly grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil and then place the chicken thighs into the dish.
• Tuck the onion wedges underneath the thighs, then season each thigh well with a good grind of pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Pour the chicken stock into the dish then place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes.
• Once 30 minutes is up, add the chorizo then place back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and top with the rosemary. Reduce the heat slightly, give the dish a good stir, before placing back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and gently fry the asparagus, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly browned and softened then remove and serve alongside the chicken.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or a large pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir chorizo in hot oil until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove chorizo using a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is browned and crumbly, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with chili powder and cumin.
• Stir chorizo, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, black beans, and white beans into chicken; cook and stir until onion begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour beer into chili; bring to a simmer. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, and tomato paste; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.

ONE PAN SPANISH CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE (ARROZ CON POLLO)

Steps:

• Soak the rice in water. Rinse the rice well and place it in a bowl. Cover the rice with water and allow it to soak for 15 minutes while you work on other things. You should be able to break a grain of rice easily. Drain well.
• Make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt and pepper.
• Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry and season with the spice rub, be sure to lift the chicken skins and apply some of the spice rub underneath (this is important for flavor).
• Brown the chicken on both sides. In a 5-quart braiser pan (or a large deep skillet with a cover), heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Carefully add the chicken and brown deeply on both sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate for now.
• Cook chorizo and vegetables. In the same pan, add the chorizo. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until the chorizo has nicely browned. Add the green peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
• Cook the chicken. Now add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Add the browned chicken back to the pan. Raise the heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then lower to medium and cover. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook the rice with the chicken. Uncover the pan and remove the chicken briefly (set on a dish near the stove for now). Stir the drained rice into the cooking liquid. Cook uncovered over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken back on top of the rice. Turn the heat to low, cover the pan again and cook the rice and chicken together for another 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
• Let the chicken and rice rest in the pan. Turn the heat off, but leave the pan covered and undisturbed for 10 more minutes. Serve hot.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND CHORIZO WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 355F.
• Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish. Scatter the garlic cloves in between/over them, then grind over a generous amount of salt and pepper.
• Scatter the chorizo pieces over the chicken, followed by the basil and then the tomatoes.
• Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if using), then bake for around an hour until the tomatoes are slightly charred and the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned where it pokes through the sauce. Toss and stir once half way through cooking.
• Serve in dishes with toasted bread with olive oil or with a potato side dish.

EASY SPANISH CHICKEN AND CHORIZO STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place a large dutch oven (or heavy pan) over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken on all sides until brown (in batches if necessary), about 7-8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Return the dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the chorizo. Sear for about 2-3 minutes, until the chorizo is brown and releasing its fat to the pan. Add the onion and bell peppers and saute until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir frequently to avoid burning.
• Next, add the garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves. When aromatic (about a minute), add the dry wine and stir to remove anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock, tomatoes, and tomato paste to the pan. Stir to combine and then return the chicken to the pan.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the dutch oven and leave to cook for 50 minutes and until the chicken is cooked through.
• If the sauce is still thin after this time, remove the chicken and increase the heat to medium-high so that the sauce can further reduce.
• Add in the sliced olives, along with the chicken and chorizo (if you removed it). Make sure everything is heated through and serve with rice, potatoes, bread, or salad.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO POZOLE

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the oil begins to smoke. Add the onions, garlic, chorizo and chili powder and cook until the onions are translucent and the pork is cooked, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes and hominy and bring to a simmer.
• Cut the chicken breasts into very thin slices. Place in a bowl with a pinch of salt and the lime juice. Mix together and let sit until the broth comes up to a simmer. Add the chicken to the soup and continue to simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Serve the soup in bowls topped with the shredded cabbage, shaved radish and jalapeno, sliced avocado, fresh lime wedges and cilantro.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Stir in chorizo and onion; cook for 2 minutes. Add green bell pepper and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, apple cider, tomato paste, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
• Mix penne into the skillet. Cover and simmer, adding more cider if needed, until penne is tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes more.

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.

• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/gas mark 7/425ºF. Put the oil in the bottom of 2 shallow roasting tins, 1 tablespoon in each. Rub the skin of the chicken in the oil, then turn skin-side up, 6 pieces in each tin. Divide the chorizo sausages and the new potatoes between the 2 tins. Sprinkle the onion and the oregano over, then grate the orange zest over the contents of the 2 tins. Cook for 1 hour, but after 30 minutes, swap the top tray with the bottom tray in the oven and baste the contents with the orange-coloured juices.
