One of my new favourite easy dinners to make and the best part you can switch it up and add whatever you like in here to use up any veggies
Ingredients
600g chicken thigh
1 chorizo approx. 100g
1 brown onion diced
200g Arborio rice
500ml Chicken Stock
1 Cup Frozen or Fresh Peas
1 x Beerenberg Chicken & Chorizo Paella Meal Base*
Optional 1 red capsicum, coriander or parsley for topping & lemon 🍋
Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in pan. Add diced onion and start to brown off, then add the diced capsicum & chorizo. I let mine brown a little first so the onions can get a little colour too. Then add the diced chicken to brown off
Add uncooked rice & give it a mix around in the pan before adding the next ingredients
Add your jar of sauce, add a little stock to rinse out jar and add that to the pan as well as the remaining stock
Cover and simmer for about 20 mins then add the peas, stir and cook for another 5 minutes
Remove from the heat and serve with a slice of lemon and some parsley (i used coriander since I didn’t have any and thought it was delicious)
