Chorizo stew with chicken and vegetables recipe

Chorizo stew with chicken and vegetables is a one pan dish that is bursting with the flavours of the Mediterranean. Smoky Spanish chorizo gives this stew such a deep and rich flavour. Make sure you use raw cooking chorizo for this recipe, not the ready to eat charcuterie variety, as it will release the best flavour as it cooks. This chorizo stew with chicken and vegetables is the perfect midweek meal that the whole family will love. You can serve it with potatoes or rice, if you like, or leave as it is for a more low carb option. You can use any part of the chicken you like for this chorizo stew. We love thighs on the bone as they give such great flavour, but fussy eaters might prefer chicken breast.
