HOW TO A MAKE CHICKEN, CHORIZO AND OLIVE BAKE
Method
- Heat the oil in a large casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the chicken, skin side down; brown evenly for 10 minutes. Set aside. Add the chorizo and onion, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cayenne, cook for a further minute and set aside.
- Boil a pan of lightly salted water and cook the potatoes for 4 minutes. Strain and allow to steam-dry for several minutes.
- Heat the oven to 180C fan, gas 6. Add the potatoes to the casserole; fry in the chorizo oil for 5 minutes. Put the chorizo and onion mix back in the pan, pour in the sherry and reduce the liquid by half. Stir through the tomatoes and sugar, season and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken and olives, then put in the oven, uncovered, and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Top with the chopped parsley and serve.
