Chicken Basquaise

Chicken Basquaise - Serves 4

Stuff you'll need:

  • 1.3kg (3 lb) chicken thighs or breasts, whichever you prefer
  • 1-2 dessertspoons olive oil
  • A medium onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 85g (3 oz) Spanish chorizo sausage, (usually available in delicatessens or at deli counters)
  • 150ml (¼ pint) Italian Arborio rice
  • 300ml (½ pint) dry white wine
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 350ml Knorr Simply Chicken Stock
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon black olives
  • A good handful of freshly torn mint, parsley and coriander
  • A little salt and freshly milled black pepper

Get stuck in:

  • 1. Put a dessertspoon of oil in a medium flameproof casserole and when it is shimmering hot, brown the chicken in the hot oil on both sides.
  • 2. While this is happening, peel the onion, slice it in half and then into thick slices.
  • 3. Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices and cut the chorizo into 1 cm (½ inch) slices or small cubes if you bought a chunky one.
  • 4. When the chicken is golden brown on both sides remove it to a plate using a slotted spoon. Then, add the onion, garlic and chorizo to the hot pan and toss these around. If you want to, add a spot more oil, the onion needs to be tinged brown around the edges.
  • 5. Add the sliced peppers and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  • 6. After that, stir in the rice, followed by the wine, the diced tomatoes, paprika and the Knorr Simply Stock as soon as it comes up to simmering point, replace the chicken joints and scatter in the olives.
  • 7. Put a lid on and turn the heat to its lowest setting and let it cook very gently without stirring or disturbing it for 30-35 minutes.
Tips:
  • 1. At the very time you are serving stir in the freshly torn herbs. Any kind of salad will make a good accompaniment. I like very thinly sliced fennel tossed in vinaigrette and a lot of freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley.
