Ingredients
75g chorizo sausage, cubed
1 tbsp olive oil
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, sliced
2 celery sticks, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
300g basmati rice
1 tin chopped tomatoes
750ml chicken stock
1 bay leaf
Salt & pepper
To serve: Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a dry frying pan, cook the chorizo for a few minutes, until the fat runs out and the sausage starts to crisp. Transfer the chorizo to a plate and add the olive oil and chicken to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until well coloured.
Add the onion, celery, pepper, garlic, dried chilli and chorizo to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring all the time.
Add the rice and stir to coat in all the fiery juices. Pour in the tomatoes, chicken stock and bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked.
Season with salt and pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
