Instructions

Cook the Onions and Chicken
1

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium heat.

Once hot, add half the butter (see pantry for amount) and allow to melt. Add the diced chicken and onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

Add the Chorizo
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Once the onions have softened, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.

Spice Time
3

Next, add the garlic, peri peri seasoning and sugar (see pantry for amount), stir-fry for 30 secs, until fragrant.

Stir in the cider vinegar and allow it to evaporate, 1 min. 

Time for the Rice
4

Stir the rice into the pan until coated, 1 min.

Next, stir in the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and chicken stock paste. Bring to the boil.

Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Finishing Touches
5

Meanwhile, quarter the lemon. 

Once ready, stir the peas, red pepper chilli jelly and a good squeeze of lemon juice into the rice along with the remaining butter.

Pop the lid back on and allow to stand for 1-2 mins.

Taste and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice if you feel it needs it. Add a splash of water if it's a little dry.

Serve
6

Share the peri peri spiced chicken and chorizo pilaf between your bowls.

Finish with a drizzle of soured cream and any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over. 

Enjoy!
