Chicken with Chorizo and Butter Beans

Recipe #55885 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

I just love chorizo. The Spanish sausage has so much flavour and it really makes this chicken dish special. The kind to use in this dish is the raw pork sausage, not the kind that is more like a deli meat.

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Sprinkle the chicken with the smoked paprika, then heat the oil in a heavy casserole and brown the meat all over.
  2. 2
    Lift out the chicken and add the chorizo to the pan.
  3. 3
    When the oil starts to come out of the chorizo, add the onion and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add the garlic and a tablespoon of parsley.
  5. 5
    Cover and cook gently for another 10 minutes.
  6. 6
    Add the tomatoes and beans and give it a stir.
  7. 7
    Add a little water if the mixture is a bit thick.
  8. 8
    Return the chicken to the pot, along with the thyme and bayleaf.
  9. 9
    Turn up the heat and bring up to a simmer.
  10. 10
    Lower the heat to its lowest setting, cover the pot and let it bubble away gently for 30 minutes or so.
  11. 11
    Remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes, until the sauce is thick and rich.
  12. 12
    Stir in a generous pinch of parsley and serve with warm crusty bread and a salad.

This was ok, I was not too crazy about it. I definitely ate it, but I don't think I will ever make it again. The list of ingredients looked like I will definitely like it, but somehow I was expecting bigger flavors which I didn't find.

    This was really good - I made a few changes to accomodate what I had on hand. I eliminated the olive oil and just sprayed my pan with cooking spray. I substituted the butter beans with a can of northern beans and used a 14 oz can of chopped tomatoes (using the juice from both cans). I did not have fresh thyme so I just threw in some dried and I didn't bother with the second amount of parsley. Served over whole wheat penne with a side of green peas and dinner rolls. Very good - just the right amount of spice/heat. Thanks for sharing.

    This is a great recipe and I'm surprised no one has reviewed it before now. I found it easy to prepare and it tasted very good. I served it with Mean Chef's Basque Potatos (also good) both use smoked paprika which was nice. I used skinless chicken breasts which I cut into large chunks and a can of chopped tomatos from which I drained most of the juice. The only thing I will add next time is a table spoon of tomato paste, more to enhance the colour than the flavour. If you can't get smoked paprika or you don't want so much spice you could subsitute sweet hungarian paprika. I recommend this recipe and will make it again.

    Wonderful flavor and very eye appealing. It was extremly hot weather so I decided to cook this as a crockpot recipe on low for 6 hours. Put everthing in the pot except the beans they were added after 4 hours. I used fresh Butter beans. It was served with noodles & a Jicama salad. Thanks Sackville Girl for another great recipe
