Spanish Orange Chicken with Chorizo and Olives

Spanish Orange Chicken with Chorizo and Olives

Posted 2015-09-22 by finyfollow

This is a tasty chicken dish to which you could add chilies if you want a bit more spice.

The chorizo is browned first with the chicken, and I used [link http://recipeyum.com.au/chicken-soup-as-a-broth-or-with-chicken-pieces-and-noodles/ home made chicken soup], however if you do not have any home made soup, use a bought broth.

The result is tender chicken pieces and a tomato gravy with boiled potatoes soaked in the rich tomato sauce.

Adding an orange and orange peel also gave it a slightly different taste than ordinary tomato passata.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 55 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
4 chicken breasts -mine were big so I cut them in half so they were not so thick
¾ orange
¼ for garnish
1 chorizo sausage, cut into thin pieces
1 cup chicken stock, or bought broth
1 cup tomato passata sauce
8 black pitted olives
2 potatoes
Extra olives for garnish (optional)

Method
  • With a potato peeler, peel three strips of orange rind, about 1 x 4 cms. Carefully segment ¾ of the orange, first removing the pith. Keep the ¼ orange for garnish.

  • Heat a bit of oil in a heavy frypan or wok, and brown the chicken and chorizo - you may need to do this in two batches.


  • Add the chicken soup, passata and orange rind.


  • Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, with a lid, for about 25 minutes.

  • Remove the lid, turn the chicken over so that it is coated in the sauce, and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.


  • Meanwhile, boil the potatoes till tender.

  • The sauce should now be thicker, and reduced.

  • Add some salt and pepper, and stir through the olives and the orange segments.


  • Serve on top of the boiled potatoes
  • This will keep for days and is also nice if you heat it up
