A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining the rich flavors of chicken and chorizo with vibrant vegetables and rice.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil for a clean flavor.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and red bell pepper to the pan and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, and Tabasco sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Adjust the amount of Tabasco sauce to your preferred spice level.
Add the cooked chicken, chorizo sausage, and peas to the pan. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Ensure the chicken and chorizo are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
This resting time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh parsley or a wedge of lemon if desired.
A sprinkle of fresh herbs adds a burst of color and freshness.
