Simple Eats | Spanish Chicken Casserole

Since getting the Le Creuset casserole pot for Christmas, I have been totally obsessed with one pot cooking – after all, it’s all about ease (and saves on washing up!). Now winter’s out the way, I guess I’ll be using it less but I just had to share this recipe. I’ve only made this for two, but it would be the perfect meal to serve if hosting for friends. It’s a colourful and tasty dish, worthy of being the centrepiece at the dinner table.

This recipe serves four.

Ingredients

·         Four skin-on chicken breasts (or thighs, or whatever you fancy)

·         Two sticks of celery, diced

·         One onion. diced

·         Two carrots, diced

·         1tsp paprika

·         250ml chicken stock

·         Tin of butter beans, rinsed and drained

·         125g chorizo, diced

·         Tin of chopped tomatoes

Method

·         Heat some oil in the casserole dish, add the chicken pieces and cook until browned

·         Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate

·         Lightly fry the vegetables until soft, before adding the chorizo and paprika

·         Add the beans, chopped tomatoes and stock. Season and stir

·        Add the chicken and bring to the boil, before turning down the heat and allowing to simmer for 25 minutes
