Best 4 Spanish Style Chicken With Mushroom Chorizo Sauce And Butter Herb Spani Spuds Recipes

ONE PAN SPANISH CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE (ARROZ CON POLLO)

Steps:

• Soak the rice in water. Rinse the rice well and place it in a bowl. Cover the rice with water and allow it to soak for 15 minutes while you work on other things. You should be able to break a grain of rice easily. Drain well.
• Make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt and pepper.
• Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry and season with the spice rub, be sure to lift the chicken skins and apply some of the spice rub underneath (this is important for flavor).
• Brown the chicken on both sides. In a 5-quart braiser pan (or a large deep skillet with a cover), heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Carefully add the chicken and brown deeply on both sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate for now.
• Cook chorizo and vegetables. In the same pan, add the chorizo. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until the chorizo has nicely browned. Add the green peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
• Cook the chicken. Now add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Add the browned chicken back to the pan. Raise the heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then lower to medium and cover. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook the rice with the chicken. Uncover the pan and remove the chicken briefly (set on a dish near the stove for now). Stir the drained rice into the cooking liquid. Cook uncovered over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken back on top of the rice. Turn the heat to low, cover the pan again and cook the rice and chicken together for another 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
• Let the chicken and rice rest in the pan. Turn the heat off, but leave the pan covered and undisturbed for 10 more minutes. Serve hot.

SPANISH-STYLE CHICKEN WITH A MUSHROOM-CHORIZO SAUCE AND BUTTER-H

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook them for about 12 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Once they are cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, then put them over medium heat for about 1 minute to dry them out. turn the heat off and add the chives, butter, half of the parsley, salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Stir the potatoes until the butter has melted, then transfer to a serving platter.
• While the potatoes are cooking, preheat a large skillet over med-high heat with 2 T of the olive oil. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, thyme and paprika. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover it with aluminum foil to keep them warm. Return the skillet to the cooktop over med-high heat. Add the remaining 2 T of olive oil and the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet to a plate using a slotted spoon and reserve.
• Turn the heat up to high and add the mushrooms to the same skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and resist the urge to stir for a couple of minutes so that the mushrooms can start to brown. Once they are brown, go ahead and shake the pan up, stir and continue to cook them for 2 minutes more. Then add the onions, garlic and reserved chorizo and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes more, or until the onions start to look tender. Add the sherry and cook for 1 more minute. Then add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining parsley and stir it to combine, then taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
• To serve, arrange the cooked chicken breasts on serving plates, top with the mushroom-chorizo sauce, and serve the butter and herb spubs alongside.

SPANISH CHICKEN TRAYBAKE WITH CHORIZO & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic and thyme leaves with a little seasoning and 2 tsp oil to make a paste. If you don't have a pestle and mortar, finely grate the garlic, then stir everything together.
• Rub the herb and garlic paste on the underside of the chicken to flavour it.
• Cut each of the pepper halves into 2 or 3 chunky strips, depending on their size. Pile into a large roasting tin with the chorizo and olives, toss with the remaining oil, then sit the chicken on top, skin-side up. Scatter over the tomatoes, spoon over the vinegar, season and tuck in the thyme sprigs.
• Roast for 1 hr until the chicken skin is crispy and the vegetables have softened. Serve with crusty bread, pasta or potatoes.

SLOW-COOKER SPANISH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry 1 sliced Spanish onion for about 5 mins until golden.
• Tip into the slow cooker pot (we used a 6.5-litre model), then fry 12 large bone-in skinless chicken thighs and 225g thickly sliced chorizo picante in the same pan until starting to colour - you will need to do this in two batches.
• Add to the slow cooker with 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks and 150g pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives.
• Tip 300ml dry white wine, 300ml chicken stock and 1 tbsp tomato purée into the pan.
• Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom, then tip into the slow cooker, cover and cook on Low for 6 hrs.
