Chicken & Chorizo Jambalaya

A super healthy, low-fat, one-pot family dish

Ingredients
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Chicken Breasts, chopped
1 Onion, diced
1 Red Pepper, thinly sliced
2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
75g Chorizo, sliced
1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
250g Long Grain Rice
400g can Plum Tomatoes
500ml Chicken Stock


Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown the chicken for 5-8 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Tip in the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Then add the pepper, garlic, chorizo and Cajun seasoning, and cook for 5 mins more.
Stir the chicken back in with the rice, add the tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender.


*I sometimes use up leftover chicken from a Sunday Roast
