Report
Chicken chorizo risotto is full of tender chicken and flavour-packed chorizo plus creamy rice, finished with butter and parmesan for a rich, one-pot oven-baked risotto.

Ingredients
- 500 g chicken thigh chopped into bite-sized pieces, boneless and skinless
- 125 g chorizo sausage sliced
- 1 brown onion finely diced, small
- 3 garlic crushed, cloves
- 300 g risotto rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or more as needed
- ⅓ cup white wine dry
- 5 cups chicken stock hot (see my notes)
- 2 teaspoon thyme fresh leaves
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- salt to taste, fine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c (350f).
- In a large, heavy-based pot heat the olive oil and fry chorizo then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
- Add chicken and fry until lightly browned (see my notes), then remove to a plate.
- Add onion and cook over medium heat until starting to soften.
- Stir in the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, then add garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
- Add white wine to deglaze, scraping up any flavour spots and simmer until mostly evaporated.
- Pour in hot chicken stock, add back in chicken, chorizo and thyme leaves and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, cover with a tight-fitting lid and bake for 30 mins.
- Stir through butter and parmesan, taste for seasoning and serve immediately.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Don't rinse the rice, it will wash away the starch which gives the risotto its creamy texture.
- I use a slotted spoon to remove the chorizo from the pan because I want to keep as much of that tasty chorizo-flavoured oil in the pan.
- The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
- I put the stock into a glass jug and heat it in the microwave.
