Cheesy Chicken & Chorizo One-Pot Rice

I'm sure you're all aware of my love for a one-pot rice dish by now! This is a really simple but deliciously flavoursome one to chuck together and is great for meal-prep too! I know some people worry about reheating rice, but just allow it to fully cool then refrigerate straight away and make sure you reheat to piping hot. I add a splash of water, give it a stir and partially cover with a lid then microwave for around 3 minutes so it’s piping hot! Be warned these portion sizes are pretty big! You could easily split into 5-6 portions.

Step 1

Cook the onion and chorizo in a spray of oil for a few minutes until the onion softens.

Step 2

Add the red pepper and the chicken pieces for around 8 minutes until cooked through and softened. Season with paprika and garlic Italian seasoning.

Step 3

Remove a tbsp of the chorizo and set aside. Rinse the uncooked rice.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato puree, then pour in the passata and chicken stock. Stir and bring to the boil, then pour in the uncooked rice. Reduce the heat to low-medium then stir, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.

Step 5

Stir the rice then add cheese and chorizo on top. Cover with a lid (or foil) for a couple more minutes.

Not a fan of this! The water reduced far too quick and the rice was raw! Complete disaster

Aw no that’s rubbish I’m sorry! 😭 I’ve used this ratio of rice to liquid lots of times and it’s always worked for me, did you use long grain white rice? Not sure why that’s happened but I’d have probs added some extra water from the kettle in that situation. May be worth another go if you’re not too scarred 😂😭 cause it’s a really good one! Thanks for the feedback anyway, if we can figure out what went wrong I’ll make sure to adjust the method! X
