½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 rashers of higher-welfare pancetta or smoked streaky bacon

    2. Quarter each piece of chicken, then season with sea salt and black pepper and dust with flour.
    3. Heat a splash of oil in a large, deep pan on a medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown all over, then transfer to a baking tray and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
    4. Meanwhile, slice the chorizo, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, and pick and finely chop the parsley leaves, finely chopping the stalks.
    5. Put the pan back on the heat, add the sliced chorizo and pancetta or bacon and fry until browned and crispy. Add the onion, garlic and parsley stalks, then cook until soft.
    6. Meanwhile, gently heat the chicken stock and infuse half with the saffron.
    7. Add the smoked paprika, the rice and infused stock to the pan and leave to cook on a medium heat for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    8. Meanwhile, halve the squid and lightly score all over with a regular eating knife (if using).
    9. When the time's up, add the remaining stock, peas, prawns, and the mussels and squid (if using). Place a lid on the pan and cook for 10 further minutes.
    10. Finally, add the cooked chicken, sprinkle over the chopped parsley and serve with wedges of lemon for squeezing over.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PAELLA RECIPE | JAMIE OLIVER RECIPES



Chicken and chorizo paella recipe | Jamie Oliver recipes image

I’ve made a few paellas in my time. The biggest one was for about 800 people in a village in Spain and it was hard work, but an incredible experience. The Spanish can be quite protective about what is and what isn’t a paella, but at the same time, the spirit of their cooking has always been flexible to whatever meat, fish, seafood or game can be found. I’ve eaten and enjoyed many paellas, and I hope you like my humble, great-value expression of one.

Total Time 50 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cloves of garlic
1 onion
1 carrot
½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley (15g)
70 g quality chorizo
2 free-range chicken thighs skin off, bone out
olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1 red pepper
1 tablespoon tomato purée
1 organic chicken stock cube
300 g paella rice
100 g frozen peas
200 g frozen peeled cooked prawns from sustainable sources
1 lemon

Steps:

    1. Peel and finely slice the garlic, peel and roughly chop the onion and carrot. Finely chop the parsley stalks, then roughly chop the chorizo and chicken thighs.
    2. Put a lug of oil into a large lidded shallow casserole or paella pan on a medium heat, add the garlic, onion, carrot, parsley stalks, chorizo, chicken and paprika, and fry for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
    3. Deseed and chop the pepper, then add to the pan for a further 5 minutes.
    4. Stir through the tomato purée and crumble in the stock cube, then add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes so it starts to suck up all that lovely flavour.
    5. Pour in 750ml of boiling water and add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Pop the lid on and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly from the outside in and from the inside out, and adding a splash of water if needed.
    6. Stir in the peas and prawns, replace the lid, and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until hot through.
    7. Season to perfection, then chop the parsley leaves, scatter them over the paella, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
