Chicken and chorizo casserole

Simon Rimmer's one-pot stew of chicken thighs, chorizo and chickpeas is full of flavour and quick to prepare. A real winter warmer!

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large pan. Add the chicken thighs and fry, turning frequently, until lightly browned all over. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

  2. Add a little more oil to the pan, then add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and chilli and cook for five minutes. Add a splash of red wine and simmer until reduced by half.

  3. In another pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the chorizo for 2-3 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until the chorizo is crisp. Set aside.

  4. Add the can of chopped tomatoes to the pan with the vegetables and bring to the boil. Cook for five minutes, then add the stock and bring back to the boil.

  5. Add the browned chicken, the chickpeas and crisp chorizo and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread.

Recipe Tips

This chicken and chorizo stew freezes brilliantly for up to a month.
