Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the onions in the oil for 5 mins until they become soft and start to colour. Add the chorizo and fry for a few mins more. Stir in the peppers, then pour in the tomatoes, followed by a can of water, the stock cubes, chilli and oregano.
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the sauce, pushing them under the liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover, then cook in the oven for 40 mins. Add the beans, stir, then cook for 20 mins more. You can make this up to 2 days ahead and keep chilled.
  3. To serve, reheat on the top of the stove or in the oven at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 1 hr 10 mins until piping hot. Stir in most of the coriander, toss the rest with the avocado, lime and a little salt, then pile this on top. Serve with Garlic & oregano bread (below) and a bag of green salad tossed with olives, cherry tomatoes and finely sliced red onion.

Why not try... Garlic & oregano bread

Beat 250g soft salted butter with an electric hand whisk until creamy, then beat in 6 crushed garlic cloves and 2 tsp dried oregano. Thickly slice 2 long French bread sticks on the diagonal, then sandwich the slices back together with the garlic butter to reform the loaf. Wrap each loaf in foil. Heat in the oven at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 25 mins until the bread is hot and the butter has melted.

    Extremely tasty but sauce very runny so used bread to mop up. However, don't be on a diet when you eat this one as lots of fat comes out of the chorizo!! Might be worth using a pack of spicy sausages (with at least 80% meat) and adding garlic for a slighty lower fat version

    I made this using bacon instead of chorizo (couldn't be bothered leaving the house to shop!). It was good, not weekend good, but make a huge batch and freeze for quick week day meals good. Served it with mash which was perfect for all that sauce.

    This was delicious as a weekend meal with crusty bread, and was even better after a day or so in the fridge as a quick mid-week reheat with rice.

    This is absolutely delicious - if you are trying to cut down on fat, try using a bit of paprika either totally instead of or to reduce the amount of chorizo you need. This has become a saturday night favourite

    I made this for a party on Saturday it went down really well. I noted the comment about the fat in the chorizo so I cooked that first and then cooked the onions etc in that instead of using oil. Its a good time saver as I made it the day before and reheated. I would make again but I did find the meat expensive.

    I have made this several times, always goes down a treat, I don't bother with the avocado but do serve with crusty bread or rice. Fantastic!

    This was only ok but very easy to do. I found the sauce needed thickening, there was still loads left over which I've frozen for next time.

    this is a really great meal to cook for freinds. And served with bread and salad - yum yum. However, i do agree that if you cook the chorizo first and then the onions it does cut down on the fat. I am not a great lover of avocado, so i didn't use this either. The following day, because there was LOADS left we ate with rice. Really nice.

    This was easy and absolutely delicious, I made for an informal large dinner party and it was extremely popular! As Eleanor, I had huge amounts left over so I put in the freezer - am looking forward to getting it out!

    Made the day before and reheated - enjoyed by everyone. next time will probably reduce the amount of water added, as sauce was a bit runny. Also did as a number of people have suggested and fried onions after the chorizo to reduce the amount of oil used.

    Delicious! Used bacon instead of chorizo and fried that first as suggested by others here. Added black olives after the first 40 minutes and chick peas instead of the kidney beans. Didn't bother with the avocado either. Served with couscous and will definitely do it again!

    Nice but the chorizo was a bit over powering for us as made it for the first time for friends who came to dinner. Sauce was a bit running but was easy to prepare.

    Absolutely delicious! I don't really like chorizo but added it anyway and found it added a smoky depth which I enjoyed. Will definitely make this meal again!

    This was really tasty, the chorizo is a must in my book. My sauce also needed thickening (as I served it straight from cooking rather than preparing in advance and reheating) so I added some cornflour and left the lid off for the last 20 mins. I served with chilli cornbread which went down well.

    My family really enjoyed this. I agree with everyone who says the sauce was a little runny, even though I only added half the amount of water suggested. However, it tasted yummy mopped up with Mediterranean bread.
