Chicken & Chorizo Jambalaya
serves 4
prep: 10 mins
cook: 45 mins
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
2 chicken breasts, chopped
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
75g chorizosalami, sliced
1 tbsp Cajun seasoningcumin & coriander
250g long grain rice
400g can plum tomatoes
350ml chicken stock
Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown the chicken for 5-8 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Tip in the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Then add the pepper, garlic, chorizo and Cajun seasoning, and cook for 5 mins more.
Stir the chicken back in with the rice, add the tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender.
Those pesky food allergies caused a few changes in the recipe but it was absolutely delicious my say so I wasn't complaining too much. Very tasty and very moist - the rice took up all the flavours and the spices were really zingy without being overwhelmed.
Mum had a slightly different version - at the point where the tomatoes were added, we split the mix into two pans, one with tomato and one without. She says "it was alright" but "a bit bland"
