with Cherry Tomatoes and Peppers

Recipe Development TeamPublished on June 24, 2020

This rice dish is great for sharing with friends and family. It's inspired by a Spanish paella but uses basmati rice and is best served by putting the pan in the middle of the table and letting everyone help themselves. The addition of both chicken and chorizo make it a real crowd pleaser!

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Do the Prep
1

Halve the peppers and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Cut the lemon into wedges.

Brown the Chicken
2

Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan on high heat. When hot, add the chicken and season well with salt and pepper. Fry until browned, 3-5 mins. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. Once browned on all sides, remove from the pan and set aside on a clean plate. Tip: You may want to do this in batches to avoid stewing the chicken.

Cook the Veggies
3

Put another splash of oil in your now empty saucepan. Add the peppers and tomatoes. Cook until softened, about 5 mins. Stir in the garlic, chorizo and paprika. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins. Meanwhile fill and boil your kettle.

Add the Rice
4

Add the rice to the pan along with half the parsley. Stir to make sure it is coated in oil and cook for 2 mins. Pour in the boiling water (see ingredients for amount) along with the stock powder and stir to dissolve.

Cook the Rice
5

Return the chicken to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid (or some foil) and cook for 15 mins. Remove from the heat and set aside (still covered) for another 10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Serve
6

Once cooled, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste the rice and season with salt and pepper and more lemon juice if it needs it. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley. Put the pan on the table, topped with lemon wedges, and let everyone help themselves. Enjoy!
