Method

Dump rice in a deep 13 x 9 baking dish. Add onion and peppers. Season chicken well. Add water. Place seasoned chicken in pan. Crumble chorizo and add atop and around chicken. Cover and cook in 350 oven for about 1 hour. Rice will have absorbed most all the liquid. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

 

Notes: The chicken & the rice will be flavored by the chorizo. Be daring. Add other vegetables to the rice, or even shredded cheese. Use chicken stock instead of water. Prepare ahead of time. Carefully add the liquid at cooking time. Try substituting hot Italian sausage for the chorizo for yet another great flavor combination.

 

Number of Servings: 6
