Delicious Chicken & Chorizo Rice Pot Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup Basmati rice (Rinsed and drained)
  • 2 cups Chicken thighs (Boneless, skinless, cut into pieces)
  • 150 g Chorizo sausage (Sliced)
  • 1 large Onion (Chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 red Bell pepper (Chopped)
  • 1 tsp Paprika (Smoked for flavor)
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 3 cups Chicken broth (Low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil (For cooking)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables, chicken, and chorizo.

    Rinse the rice to remove excess starch for better texture.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper, cooking until softened.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Cook Chicken and Chorizo

    Add chicken pieces and chorizo to the pot. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides.

    This step locks in the flavor.
  4. Add Rice and Spices

    Stir in the rice, paprika, and oregano, mixing everything together well.

    Toast the rice lightly for enhanced flavor.
  5. Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer covered for 20 minutes.

    Do not lift the lid during cooking for best results.
  6. Fluff and Serve

    Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

    Serve hot for maximum flavor.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Use high-quality chorizo for better flavor. Let the pot sit covered for a few minutes after cooking. Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
