How to make Spanish Chicken One Pot
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 200 degrees C.
Step 2: Combine the chorizo and potatoes in a large baking sheet or casserole dish. Place in the preheated oven to bake for about 15 minutes.
Step 3: Remove from the oven when done and add the remaining ingredients to the dish. Toss well, then return to the oven. Continue baking for another 35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes:
For this recipe, I suggest buying the chunks of chorizo and not the thin slices.
You can replace chicken thighs with chicken breasts but make sure to adjust the cooking time so as not to overcook the chicken.
You can add the tomatoes along with the potatoes if you like your tomatoes pretty soft.
You can omit olives if desired but make sure to add a squeeze of lemon to the dish before serving for a burst of delicious acidity.
Add some whole cloves of garlic to this dish. Before serving, squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
For this recipe, use only sweet smoked paprika or regular paprika and not the hot smoked paprika.
I suggest using a nonstick pan, if not available, just be sure to stir the dish after 5 minutes in the oven so the potatoes don’t stick. Also, ensure to use large enough tin to fit everything in a single layer without overcrowding. Or just use two smaller trays.
