Chicken Chorizo (Pollo Con Chorizo) image

The star ingredient here is chorizo, a sausage I encountered in Spain and which gives this dish a wonderful flavour. It's not spicy as such, but full of flavour. Available from most supermarkets nowadays. Try for a unique experience

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 3-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

150 -250 g chorizo sausage
4 -6 pieces chicken breasts (either whole or cut into bite-size pieces)
paprika (to season)
2 onions
6 garlic cloves (or garlic paste)
400 g canned tomatoes, passata (or equivalent)
2 bay leaves (fresh or dried, also called laurel)
brandy (to flavour) or red wine (to flavour)
salt and pepper (to flavour)
olive oil (for cooking)
boiled potatoes (to accompany)

Steps:

  • Season the chicken liberally with paprika.
  • Brown the chicken in a pan using the olive oil.
  • Remove the chicken.
  • Meanwhile chop the chorizo into pieces and add to the pan. (Some peel the 'skin' off, but this is optional. Don't boil the chorizo! Fry it).
  • Add and fry the onions with the chorizo; The juices from the chorizo will blend with the onion.
  • Add the garlic and continue to cook lightly for a few minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, laurel, sherry, brandy and everything else, including the chicken.
  • Cook on the hob or in the oven for another hour, stirring if appropriate. (Or put in the slow cooker for a few hours).
  • Serve with boiled potatoes. Peas are a good accompaniment.
