Instructions

Peel and finely dice both the garlic and half the onion and finely chop the parsley. Boil 300ml of water in a pot with half the chicken stock pot. Remove the core from the pepper, cut into 1cm strips then chop into small cubes. Finally, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan on high heat. Cook the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper until browned off on all sides. Now grate over ¼ tsp of orange zest and pour on the honey. Toss for a minute before removing from the pan and keeping to the side.

Turn the heat to medium and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the onion and cook off for a few mins. Add the chorizo to the pan with the garlic and green pepper. Cook for another 5 mins.

Add the chicken back into the pan with the juice of a quarter of your orange. Add in a few shakes of habanero sauce. Tip: Habanero sauce is the secret ingredient for that perfect Cajun kick - add as little or as much as you like, depending on how much you want to spice things up.

Add in the rice and the tin of tomatoes together with 300ml of chicken stock. Place a lid on the pan and cook on medium-low heat for 10 mins. Them remove the lid and cook for another 10 mins.

Stir your jambalaya and taste to see if it's cooked

After 20 mins, taste a bit of rice to see if it is cooked and seasoned enough. Adjust salt and pepper as necessary and add a little more water if you need to, (a proper Jambalaya is nice and saucy when cooked).

Once the rice is perfectly cooked, stir in all but a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley. For a finishing flourish sprinkle over a little more parsley and squeeze over a bit more orange juice.
