Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium red onions, sliced
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3cm pieces
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 200g chorizo, cut into 1cm slices
- 2 red or yellow peppers, deseeded and cut into 3cm pieces
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 500g new or baby potatoes, cut into 3cm pieces
- ½ tsp paprika
- 400ml vegetable stock
- 5 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- crusty bread, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- 1Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and fry the onions over a medium-high heat for 4-5 mins until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken and garlic, and cook for 5 mins until the chicken loses its pink colour.
- 2Add the chorizo and peppers, and cook for 1 min. Stir in the tomatoes, chickpeas, potatoes, paprika and stock, ensuring the potatoes are fully covered by the liquid.
- 3Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, partly covered, for 25-30 mins or until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally. Season to taste and stir through most of the chopped parsley. Serve the stew with the remaining parsley sprinkled over to garnish and some crusty bread, if liked.
