Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 85g/3oz chorizo, halved and sliced
- ½ large onion, sliced
- 200g/7oz chicken thigh fillets, chopped into 2½cm/1in pieces
- 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 110g/4oz basmati rice
- 200ml/7fl oz chicken stock (made with ½ stock cube dissolved in hot water)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and fry the chorizo over a high heat for 1 minute. Add the onion and fry for a further minute, then add the chicken and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the pepper and basmati rice and stir well to combine. Pour in the chicken stock and stir, then turn the heat down as low as it will go, put the lid on and leave for 12 minutes.
Turn the heat off but do not remove the lid and leave for a further 12 minutes, then remove the lid and give it a good stir with a fork. The water should be absorbed. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and serve straight away.
