Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and season it with paprika and a little salt. Chop the onion, red pepper, fresh chilli, and chorizo so everything is ready before cooking.

Heat the olive oil in a large deep frying pan or wide saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened but not browned.

Add the chilli and red pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the chicken and chorizo and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the chicken is lightly sealed and the chorizo releases its oil.
