Chicken and Chorizo Jambalaya

From the BBC Good Food website. 

Serves 4

1 tbsp olive oil

2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, chopped

1 onion, diced

1 red pepper, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves crushed

75g chorizo, sliced

1 tbsp Cajun seasoning

250g long grain rice

400g can chopped tomatoes

350ml chicken stock

Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown the chicken for 5-8 minutes until golden.  Remove and set aside. Tip in the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.  Add the pepper, garlic, chorizo and Cajun seasoning and cook for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the chicken and the rice.  Add the tomatoes and stock.  Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender.

Notes:

This dish is quick and very tasty, we’ve had it a couple of times now.  Nothing to stop you adding prawns or other seafood to it or other types of meat/sausage.  Enjoy.
