Easy Chicken, Chorizo and Chickpea Stew
Report
Quick, easy and packed with delicious Spanish flavours, this Easy Chicken, Chorizo and Chickpea Stew is going to be your new favourite midweek meal! Plus it’s a fab ‘fill the freezer’ recipe (and once you’ve tasted it, you’re definitely going to want to batch cook this – in BIG batches!)

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 130 g diced chorizo (you should be able to buy it ready-diced, which saves a lot of time!)
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- 400 g tin chickpeas (including the liquid)
- 1 chicken stock cube (I use Kallo Organic)
- 400 g skinless, boneless chicken thigh fillets diced
- Black pepper to taste (I usually find there’s no need to add salt as the stock cube is salty enough)
To serve
- Brown rice, white rice, mashed potatoes, pasta or crusty white bread
- Greens or any green vegetable of your choice, such as cabbage, green beans, kale, cavalo nero, broccoli, peas…

Instructions
- Place the oil, onion and pepper in a wide and fairly deep saucepan. Fry over a low heat, with the lid on, for 3-5 minutes, until the onions and peppers have softened. Stir occasionally.
- Add the chorizo and cook for 1 more minute with the lid off. Stir occasionally.
- Add the garlic, chilli flakes and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 more minute with the lid off. Stir occasionally.
- Tip in the tomatoes and chickpeas. Then add the diced chicken, stock cube and black pepper. Bring to the boil, then turn down low and simmer for 15 minutes with the lid off, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Serve with brown rice, greens and a glass of Rioja… or whatever accompaniments you prefer!
