6 boned chicken thighs, each cut into 4 pieces
200g chorizo, sliced
1 tsp paprika
1 long red chilli, chopped

A good handful of coriander or parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Heat the oven to 200C, Gas 6.
2. Put the oil, onion and garlic in a large casserole. Gently cook over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring all the time. Drop in the chicken, chorizo, paprika and chilli, if using, give everything a good stir and leave for 1 minute over a high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further minute.

4. Now put the casserole into the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully lift off the lid, and cook for a further 10 minutes until the top of the rice is a little bit crispy.
5. Sprinkle coriander over and take the casserole to the table and dig in.
