Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    Really gorgeous! The rice absorbs all the lovely flavour. I thought I'd try this version as I normally make the 'smoky chicken & chorizo stew' on this site but have to say the family all prefer this one (even my 4 and 7 year old!)

    This was really delicious and very simple to make. I might consider using chicken breasts rather than thighs next time though. Would make again.

    I halved the recipe and used 2 chicken breasts cut up into big chunks. Really lovely meal and a good size portion.

    Excellent recipe...just one word of warning....take care with your choice of rice. I chose an organic long grain rice and at Step 4, it took over an hour before it was cooked!

    Rather yummy - even my fussy eater 6 year old loved it! Used 4 chicken breasts chopped up and could have done with a little more meat. Served 3 with enough for 3 portions to freeze.

    Quick, easy and very tasty. If using chicken breasts like me then you only need to cook them for 10 mins in stage 3 of the recipe and not 30 mins.

    A hit with the fussy husband and daughter. I didn't have a casserole dish suitable for hob so I started it off in a pan and when it got to the adding liquid, I transferred to casserole dish and finished in the oven. I just added an extra 5 mins for the rice to cook.

    This was a superb, easy and tasty dish to make. I too used chicken breasts and they cooked well. It is full of flavour- very filling as there seemed to be lots of rice left in the pan even with plenty on everyone's plates. Re-heats very well the next day too.

    Used hot and spicy chicken portions and ordinary sausages and the outcome was wonderful. Masses of tasty meat in perfectly cooked rice. I started everything off on the hob but transferred the casserole into the oven (170 degrees) so I didn't have to watch it.

    Very good - family loved it and my daughter was more than happy to have some of the leftover rice and chorizo for her packed lunch the next day!

    Yummy - enjoyed by all the family including my 2 and 5 yr olds. I did this on the hob initially until step 3, but I added the rice (used risotto rice) at the same time as the chicken and cooked in the oven for about 45mins at 190 (fan) -perfect.

    Simple but gorgeous. Eaten by all the family. Followed the recipe exactly but took the skin of the chicken before cooking. Next time will add more peppers.
