Ingredients

3 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
thumb sized piece of picante chorizo
1 chicken stock cube
2 peppers I prefer red & green
1 glass red wine
2 cooking onions
700 ml water
5 medium potatoes diced skin on
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 teaspoon good quality paprika
400 g chickpeas 1 tin
1 chilli dried or fresh – I leave seeds in for an extra kick
optional: 2 teaspoons cornflour mixed with a splash of cold water to thicken at the end to your taste
salt and pepper

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 170C or place a large pan on a low heat with a little olive oil.
Cut and dice the chicken, potatoes, onions, peppers, chilli and chorizo and add to the pan/dish and brown/soften for a few minutes (ignore this if cooking in the oven). Don’t be too precious with the timing as it will all come together by the end.
Crush and add the garlic, paprika, chicken stock cube and seasoning.
Add the tin of chickpeas.
Add the water.
Finally add the wine.
Cook on low simmer on hob or 175 C in oven for 90-120 minutes.

Notes

If it's not thick enough for you, add the cornflour as suggested and mix in, make sure the stew isn't too hot or the cornflour will go lumpy.

Oven or Hob Cooked Chicken and Chorizo Stew

This is my version of the stew, it can be cooked on the hob, or in the oven (it usually depends on how many other things I have to do around the house).

The photos shown are the oven-cooked version. I'd say if you're cooking it in the oven it will probably need thickening with a little cornflour but on the hob, it reduces well on its own.

Chicken and Chorizo Stew Serving Suggestions
