Ingredients:

  • 1 x chicken braai pack, seasoned
  • 12 baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) olive oil
  • 250g chorizo, sliced into diagonal chunks
  • 2 red onions, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 tsp (10ml) smoked paprika
  • 2 red peppers, sliced into thick chunks
  • 1 cup (250ml) chicken stock

Method:

  • Simmer the potatoes in salted water until they are al dente (i.e., just cooked).
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chorizo and sauté for a few minutes, until it is slightly crispy.
  • Remove the chorizo, and then turn the heat up to high.
  • Add the chicken, skin-side down, and fry until golden. Remove from the pan.
  • Turn the heat down and add the red onion and garlic. Sauté gently for 2 minutes.
  • Add the paprika and peppers, and sauté for another minute.
  • Add the chicken and chorizo back into the pan, along with the potatoes. Give everything a good stir.
  • Add the chicken stock and place the dish in the oven for 1 hour, or until cooked through. Top up with water as needed.
  • Serve and enjoy!
