Spanish Chicken and Chorizo Casserole
This Spanish chicken and chorizo casserole is one of my all-time favourite slow cooker dishes. I’ve made this many times, for lots of people, and it always hits the spot! The ingredients are fantastic and as you slow cook the chorizo, it infuses the rest of the dish with its deep smokey flavour. This freezes really well, so it’s worth making a big batch and enjoying it many times over!
When I feel like it, I add onions to this dish to add a little extra sweetness. If you add them, sauté them first with little bit of oil in the pan. This way they become sweet, whereas raw onion in the slow cooker can turn slightly bitter. You could even chuck in the garlic, tomato puree and paprika at this stage too, before transferring everything to the slow cooker. I’ve also made this dish plenty of times without onions – so no pressure!
I top this Spanish chicken casserole with fresh parsley, and serve this with crusty bread and fresh greens. You could also serve with rice or potatoes.
