Chicken With Tomato And Chorizo Sauce Recipes

CREAMY TOMATO CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel and chop the onion, then chop the bell peppers and set to one side.
• Slice the chorizo into disks.
• Heat the olive oil a large frying pan over high heat, add the chorizo and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the chopped onion and peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Whilst the peppers are cooking chop the chicken breasts into small chunks.
• Add the chicken to the pan and stir around in the oil for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Add in the garlic and stir together until aromatic (less than 1 minute)
• Add the chopped tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and smoked paprika if using.
• Bring to a simmer and then cook gently whilst you cook the pasta.
• Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt then pour in the pasta.
• Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking liquid then drain the pasta.
• Add the pasta to the tomato sauce mixture and pour in the heavy cream.
• Stir everything together until well coated, thinning the sauce with pasta water as needed.
• Stir through the fresh spinach and allow to wilt. Serve immediately with parmesan and chopped parsley.

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.

• Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if using), then bake for around an hour until the tomatoes are slightly charred and the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned where it pokes through the sauce. Toss and stir once half way through cooking.
• Serve in dishes with toasted bread with olive oil or with a potato side dish.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO RAGU

Steps:

• Fry the chorizo over a medium heat in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish for 5 mins or until it releases its oil and starts to char at the edges. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins more or until soft. Tip in the garlic and cook for 2 mins before stirring in the paprika and sundried tomatoes. Add the chicken thighs and fry for 2 mins each side until they are well coated in the spices and beginning to brown.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stock, and turn the heat down. Cover and cook for 40 mins until the chicken is falling apart and the sauce is thick. Stir the lemon juice through. Serve by piling spoonfuls of the ragu into hot jacket potatoes with parsley sprinkled over and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.
