Chilli chicken one pot

1 hour

Serves 8

Fusion

Main

This one-pot meal is easy to cook and has a big impact on your friends and family. It combines flavours from Spain, China and beyond to create a slightly spicy chicken dish that is underpinned by the rich flavour of chorizo. I got this recipe from a friend at university and I cooked it may times for friends on our games nights. This is one of those meals that develops it's flavours over time, and can be cooked two days in advance for amazing results.
