Chorizo Chicken One Pot Meal

I have not uploaded a new recipe for a while, mainly because we are still living on food I have already made and frozen. The house or should I say the freezer is now at the stage where the prepared food is nearly at an end, so it is time to start cooking again.

Looking on the Internet last night, I stumbled upon a recipe, that ticked all my boxes, but the reviews were not fantastic, mainly because of the fat content and the sauce. Not been put off - as these things are easily fixed, I have decided to give it a go for tonight. The recipe is slightly altered, the original one can be found at http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5891/chilli-chicken-onepot

The main differences between the above recipe and below is the addition of garlic, the dish is also done one the hob - so I can reduce the sauce easily before serving.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 TBLSP of oil
1 Large Onion - thinly sliced
115g of Chorizo thickly sliced
2 red peppers - deseeded and cut into chunks
1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 chicken stock cube
1 TSP of dried chilli flakes
1 TSP of dried Oregano
6 Boneless chicken thighs
4 cloves of garlic - minced
3/4 Pint of Water

• In a large pan, add the oil and heat gently, fry the onions until soft and starting to colour. Stirring occasionally so the onions do not catch
• Add the Chorizo, Peppers and garlic and cook for a 3 to 4 minutes
• Add the chilli and oregano and mix well
• Add the tomatoes, water and stock cube
• Place the chicken in the pan and under the liquid, bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for 1 1/2 hour with the lid on stirring occasionally
• Now you have an option, you can either remove the lid and reduce the sauce or you can add 3 TSP of cornflour mixed with a little water and stir in and simmer for 10 mins stirring
• Serve in bowls with fresh crispy bread

Any liquid left over save and serve as a soup for a lunch time treat.
