JAMES MARTIN'S CHICKEN WITH RED PEPPERS, CHORIZO AND CHILLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Deseed the peppers and cut them lengthways into 8 strips. Cut the chorizo into 1cm slices.
• Place the peppers and chorizo in a large casserole dish or roasting tin, then put the chicken on top.
• Pour the wine over, then drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid or foil and cook for 1 hour. Remove the foil or lid and cook for a further 30 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the shallots, parsley, red and green chillies, oregano and chives.
• Place all the sauce ingredients into a bowl, mix well, then season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce ingredients over the chicken while it's in the pot and take to the table to serve.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO RICE POT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the chicken pieces on all sides - you may have to do this in batches. Remove from the dish and put to one side.
• Lower the heat, add the onion and pepper, and gently cook for 10 mins until softened. Add the garlic and chorizo, and cook for a further 2 mins until the chorizo has released some of its oils into the dish. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min more.
• Return the chicken pieces to the dish along with the thyme, white wine and stock. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover the dish with a tight-fitting lid and lower the heat. Cook for 30 mins.
• Tip in the rice and stir everything together. Cover, set over a low heat and cook for a further 15 mins, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the cooking liquid. Remove from the heat and leave the dish to sit for 10 mins to absorb any remaining liquid. Season to taste and scatter with parsley to serve.
