This super easy chicken and chorizo jambalaya is a one-pot, quick cooking marvel: it tastes good, it's low in syns and if you're shite in the kitchen, you'll be able to knock this together without breaking a sweat. It's an all round good guy!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 200g frozen peas
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp Morrison's No Fuss garlic paste (1 syn) (or mince your own garlic, you fancy sod)
- 100g chorizo, diced (12 syns)
- 1 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 250g long grain rice
- 400g tin of plum tomatoes
- 400ml chicken stock
Instructions
- if you haven't already, dice and chop up everything that you need to and set aside
- spray a large pan with oil and pop over a medium-high heat
- add the chicken and cook until no pink remains
- next, add everything else and give a good stir - give the tomatoes a bit of a squash with the edge of the spoon so they break up a little bit and spread out
- add the lid to the pan and simmer for 25 minutes
- serve
Notes
- we used garlic paste for this because we ran out of proper garlic - if you're using garlic cloves you can knock a syn off
- remember, you get a huge amount of chicken in our Musclefood deals!
- Fry Light WILL ruin those nice pans of yours - get one of these instead!
- don't be afraid to use chorizo - the number of syns might give you palpitations but it's worth it - and spread out over 4 servings it's only 3 each. Syns are there to be used!
- no need to rinse the rice for this - just lob it in dry
- you'll need a good shallow casserole dish - we bought ours from Marks and Spencers, but you can find a good range on Amazon
- you'll find cajun seasoning with the spices in all the supermarkets - but others will work too (fajita, jerk, Piri Piri, etc)
