Accompaniment
SponsoredOrigin Pinot Grigio Organic
The nation's favourite tipple in an organic bundle. A great value wine, from Italy's ever popular Pinot Grigio grape. This wine is perfectly balanced with juicy pear and peach notes and soft floral aromas
Description
Nice alternative if you don't like seafood too much. This is a favourite in our house. To spice it up a little try adding some finely chopped chillies and serve with crusty bread

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the chorizo for 2-3 mins. Remove and set aside.
Add the chicken to the pan and fry over a high heat until browned all over.
Remove and set aside with the chorizo.
Fry the onion and garlic in the hot oil for 4-5 mins until softened, then add the pepper and rice.
Cook for 1 min, stir in the saffron and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken to the pan and add beans.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cook for 10 mins, stirring frequently until the rice is tender and nearly all the liquid has been absorbed.
Add the fried chorizo to the pan and stir in gently.
Cook for 4-5 mins until both are heated through.
Serve on warmed plates and sprinkle with paprika.
