Method

  1. Heat a deep sided sauté pan until medium hot, add the chorizo and cook over a medium heat until the oil starts to release then stir in the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion has softened.

  2. Add the garlic and smoked paprika cook for another minute then stir in the rice.

  3. Pour in the sweet red pepper sauce and the stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes then stir in the chicken breast and cook over a gentle heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and the chicken has cooked through.
