Recipe: Yummy Spanish chicken and Chorizo

Spanish chicken and Chorizo. The flavors in this Spanish chicken and rice are still the biggest draw for me. First, the chicken is covered in a simple spice rub that includes smoked paprika and a hint of cayenne pepper. Onions, green peppers, tomatoes, broth and rice go into the same pan with the browned chicken and Chorizo.

Garlic and paprika are the key flavours in Spanish chorizo sausage, and are echoed in the flavourings I used in this One Pan Spanish Chicken and Chorizo dish. Potatoes, capsicum and tomatoes add bulk and veggie goodness to make a complete meal that's whipped up and on the table in no time. And this dish of chicken, chorizo, and rice is no exception, loaded up with flavor but super simple to prepare. You can cook Spanish chicken and Chorizo using 11 ingredients and 9 steps.
