Best 4 One Pot Chicken And Chorizo Recipes

ONE PAN SPANISH CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO, TOMATO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• Combine the Rub ingredients in a small bowl. Slather over the chicken.
• Boil or microwave the potatoes until slightly undercooked.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep fry pan or oven proof casserole dish over high heat.
• Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook unit light brown - about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Then turn and cook the other side until a slightly deeper brown - about the same time. Remove into a big bowl.
• Add the chorizo and fry until light brown on each side - about 1 minute (each side). Remove into the same bowl as the chicken.
• If the pan is looking dry (depends on fattiness of chicken and chorizo), add 1 tbsp of olive oil. I did not need this.
• Add the garlic, capsicum (bell pepper) and onion and sauté for 2 minutes until the capsicum is slightly charred. It will be extra charred from the dark brown residue from the chorizo and chicken.
• Add the canned tomatoes and oregano and stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Then add the potato, chicken, chorizo and cherry tomatoes. Nestle the chicken in so it is half submerged in the tomato.
• Bring to simmer, then cover with a lid (I use a lid from a large pot) or foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and dark brown.
• Serve, garnished with fresh oregano leaves if desired.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
• Lightly grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil and then place the chicken thighs into the dish.
• Tuck the onion wedges underneath the thighs, then season each thigh well with a good grind of pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Pour the chicken stock into the dish then place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes.
• Once 30 minutes is up, add the chorizo then place back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and top with the rosemary. Reduce the heat slightly, give the dish a good stir, before placing back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and gently fry the asparagus, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly browned and softened then remove and serve alongside the chicken.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO RICE POT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the chicken pieces on all sides - you may have to do this in batches. Remove from the dish and put to one side.
• Lower the heat, add the onion and pepper, and gently cook for 10 mins until softened. Add the garlic and chorizo, and cook for a further 2 mins until the chorizo has released some of its oils into the dish. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min more.
• Return the chicken pieces to the dish along with the thyme, white wine and stock. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover the dish with a tight-fitting lid and lower the heat. Cook for 30 mins.
• Tip in the rice and stir everything together. Cover, set over a low heat and cook for a further 15 mins, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the cooking liquid. Remove from the heat and leave the dish to sit for 10 mins to absorb any remaining liquid. Season to taste and scatter with parsley to serve.

ONE-POT CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO & NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and season the chicken all over. In a large flameproof casserole dish with a lid, heat the butter and oil until sizzling, then spend a good 15 mins slowly browning the chicken well all over. Remove from the dish and pop the lemon, bay and thyme in the cavity. Set aside.
• Pour most of the oil out of the dish, place back on the heat and sizzle the chorizo for 5 mins until it starts to release its red oil. Throw in the potatoes, sizzle them until they start to colour, then add the garlic. Splash in the sherry, let it bubble down a little, then pour in the stock.
• Nestle the chicken, breast-side up, among the potatoes, place the lid on the dish and cook in the oven for 1 hr 15 mins or until the legs easily come away from the body. Leave the chicken to rest for 10 mins, then scatter with parsley and serve straight from the dish.
