  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 400 g of skinless, boneless chicken breast, chopped into chunks
  • 200 g of cooking chorizo, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed or grated
  • 1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 0.5 tsp of caster sugar
  • 300 ml of chicken stock
  • 3 sprig of rosemary, to garnish.
  • 1 tbsp of parsley, finely chopped

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. When shimmering, season the chicken with salt then fry for 1-2 mins on each side, until browned all over. Remove to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-high.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chorizo to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 mins, until it has released its fat and become golden and crisp. Remove to the chicken plate using a slotted spoon and leaving the fat in the pan, then reduce the heat to medium.

  3. Step 3

    Fry the onions in the fat for 5-6 mins, stirring often, until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and fry for another 2-3 mins, then add the chickpeas, tomatoes, sugar, chicken stock and rosemary and bring everything to a simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the chicken and chorizo back through with some seasoning, then transfer to an ovenproof dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 mins, until bubbling and darker on top.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 mins before serving, scattered with parsley and with crusty bread on the side for mopping everything up.
