Background
This Spanish-style chicken pot is made with chorizo, so it’s full of flavours! It’s super easy to prepare, ideal for midweek family meals. Serve it with fresh, crusty bread and a salad.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 8 mixed chicken drums and thighs
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 100g cooking chorizo
- 100 ml white wine
- 100 ml chicken stock
- 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
- 4 stalks of thyme (plus 1 for garnish)
- 2 bay leaves
- 600g potatoes
- 1 pinch of sugar
- 1 handful of black olives, pitted
Instructions
- Heat half of the oil in a large, heavy based pan, and brown the chicken all over. Transfer them to a plate.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic. Cut the chorizo into 1cm cubes.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, fry the onion and garlic, add the sausage pieces, then stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour over the wine, and reduce it by half. Add the tinned tomatoes, chicken stock, thyme leaves, bay leaves and sugar.
- Put the chicken pieces into the sauce - the sauce should completely cover the meat!
- Cook under a lid for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
- After 20 minutes of cooking, add the potatoes and olives, then let it simmer on the stove for 35 minutes.
- Serve warm with thyme leaves scattered on top.
