  • 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

Preparation

1. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, turning occasionally, for 2 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
2. Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add half the chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until browned. Transfer to the plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
3. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and paprika and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the chorizo, chicken, tomato, water, capsicum and olives. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in half the parsley. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Divide among serving plates and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve with bread and mixed salad leaves.
