ingredients

  • 5-10 Sprays of Borderfields Cold Pressed Rapeseed Garlic Spray Oil
  • 2 chicken breasts, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 celery sticks chopped
  • 75g chorizo, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 250g long grain rice
  • 400g can plum tomatoes
  • 350ml chicken stock

method

Step 1

Spray and heat the Borderfields Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil in a large lidded pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken breasts and cook for 5–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and celery to the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the red pepper, then the chorizo and Cajun seasoning. Cook for a further 5 minutes, allowing the chorizo to release its smoky oils and coat the vegetables.

Step 4

Return the chicken to the pan and stir through the rice. Add the plum tomatoes and chicken stock, mixing well. Cover with a lid and simmer over a medium heat for 20–25 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the flavours.
