| Spanish style chicken & chorizo baked in a tomato & smoked paprika sauce. This is a very easy, tasty and rich casserole. |
I had a bit of a sort out of my freezer yesterday and decided to make something out of some chicken breast fillets and some chorizo sausages I found lurking in one of the drawers. This dish doesn’t follow any particular recipe although is loosely based on a cross between a Spanish dish and an Hungarian goulash! Very homely and smoky rich with a very slight sweetness and spice from the hot smoked paprika, although not chilli hot. I also added 4 rashers of smoked back bacon I needed to use up, cut up into lardon size pieces but this was purely to use them up and not essential. You could garnish with some olives or some soured cream, chopped parsley etc.
This is a very easy and lazy (one dish to marinade and cook in with no browning of the meat first etc) main meal dish. I served it with some rice cooked by the absorption method in chicken stock and a knob of butter but could be served with pasta or whatever you fancied.
