Chorizo, Chicken & Chickpea in Tomato Sauce

October 22, 2018

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My family and I love chorizo (how can you not!) and are always looking for new ways to add it to our meals. My chorizo, chicken and chickpea in tomato sauce recipe is a quick midweek dinner that is full of flavour and taste.

I use a cajun seasoning mix (which you can make or buy) and some smoked paprika to give a smokey flavour to this dish.

You could also use butter beans or cannellini beansĀ  instead of chickpeas. I prefer butter beans but the rest of my family prefers chickpeas so chickpeas win out.

Raisins are also a nice addition as they add a little bit of sweetness to each bite.

It is lovely served on a bed of rice.

This is another great meal for freezing so it is a great idea to make double and freeze. That way you have something delicious to pull out some rushed winter evening. It will also hold in the fridge for a couple of days and can be taken to work or school for lunch with some lovely crusty bread.
