    Chicken and Chorizo Casserole

    Loyd Grossman Tomato & Chilli Sauce has a robust flavour that makes an excellent casserole base for chicken thighs or pork chops and works well with spicy chorizo sausage. You can find the sauce on the grocery shelves.

    • Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes 60 minutes 10 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 225g Chorizo de Pueblo Ring, cut into 1cm pieces
    • 1 onion, sliced

    • 150ml red wine or cold water
    • 350g jar Loyd Grossman Tomato & Wild Mushroom Sauce

    3. Pour the wine or water and tomato and wild mushroom sauce into the frying pan and bring to the boil, then pour into the casserole, cover and cook in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat.
    4. Season with freshly ground black pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve with couscous, steamed tenderstem broccoli and a few roasted Waitrose Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine.

    Cook's tips

    For a milder flavour replace the chorizo with Italian pancetta pieces.

    Get ahead: The casserole can be made up to the end of step 3 a day ahead and stored covered, in the fridge, or frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly, then bring to the boil over a medium heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until piping hot. Stir in the parsley just before serving.

    Note: Wash hands, equipment and work surfaces thoroughly after handling raw poultry.
