Chicken Chorizo Stew
Potatoes
Our Spanish casserole follows the traditional combination of
meat, beans and tomatoes that is typical of many stews eaten in Spain.
Sprinkle the paprika over the chicken thighs and cook quickly, until the skin is golden brown and the meat is sealed, remove from the pan and place in a casserole dish. Remove excess fat and then add the sliced chorizo, garlic and chopped onions cook till the chorizo is crisp and the onions are soft. Add the herbs Provencal and cook for a minute or two. Drain the beans, and add them, with the tomatoes cook for 5 minutes. Add the stock and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the tomato, chorizo and bean mixture to the chicken and slow cook in the oven till the meat is tender.
This dish is a lovely comfort food perfect for those cold
winter nights, it takes a while to cook so we tend to make it on a weekend,
make extra and freeze for a quick meal during the week.
This recipe is perfect for all the family, its easy to cook and packed full of meat and vegetable proteins. Chicken thighs are relatively low-cost, and the addition of butter beans and chorizo makes this dish very filling.
This Spanish chicken stew is ideal for freezing, cook the stew and leave to cool, place in a container and freeze. To reheat, remove from the freezer and defrost then heat till piping hot.
This tasty Spanish stew would make an ideal main course for a dinner party particularly a Spanish themed dinner.
If you have leftover chicken and chorizo stew, we suggest you strip the meat from the
bone and then mix it with the bean and chorizo gravy, then serve it
Or just freeze it for another day
