One Pan Chicken and Chorizo Rice Recipe
This is my one pan chicken and chorizo Rice, inspired by @kimberley’sjourney version (check her out). This recipe is packed full of flavour and comes in at under 500 calories and over 30g protein per serving. Let go:
Ingredients:
150g basmati rice
60g chorizo
350ml chicken stock
600g chicken thighs
1 yellow bell pepper
1 courgette
1 onion
5 garlic cloves
1 red chilli
2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp cajun
30g lighter cheddar
1 tsp olive oil
Method:
- Sauté the onions and garlic in a medium-heat pan until softened, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add the chorizo, red chilli, bell pepper, courgette, 1 tbsp of smoked paprika, and 1 tbsp of Cajun seasoning. Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until fully cooked.
- Add the chicken to the pan with another 1 tbsp of smoked paprika, cooking for 5-10 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Stir in the dry rice and chicken stock, season well, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top, cover, and allow it to melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and crispy chorizo. Enjoy!
