Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, lidded saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 1 min, then add the chorizo and cook for 5-8 mins until the onion is soft and the chorizo is cooked through. Stir in the chicken and cook for 2-3 mins to coat and warm through
  2. Add the Spanish cooking sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in the peas and sweetcorn, cook for 3 mins, then add the rice. Stir well; cook for 5 mins or until piping hot.
  3. Remove from the heat, cover and leave the dish to stand for 5 mins so the rice can absorb the flavours. Scatter over the parsley and serve with salad leaves.
