Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped, divided
Salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided
4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1/2 a palm full
1 teaspoon dry thyme, 1/3 of a palm full
3/4 pound chorizo sausage, in packaged meats case near kielbasa, cut in 1/2 lengthwise then thinly sliced
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 small carrot, peeled and grated
2 roasted red peppers, chopped
1 (10-ounce) box frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful

Directions

Heat a medium size saucepot over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon, and the butter. Add 1/4 of the chopped onion and season with salt and pepper, cook for about 1 minute, add the rice and stir to coat in the oil. Add 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock to the rice and bring up to a boil. Cover the pot, reduce heat to simmer and cook rice for 15 to 18 minutes or until tender and cooked through.

While the rice is cooking, start the chicken. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, salt, pepper and the thyme; add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook breasts 5 to 6 minutes on each side or, until cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Return the skillet to the stove top and over medium-high heat add chorizo, cook for 2 minutes stirring frequently. Add the remaining onion, garlic, grated carrot, and roasted red pepper to the chorizo and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are slightly tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of chicken stock, scrape up any bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the frozen peas and parsley; continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes to heat the peas through. Taste and adjust seasonings with a little salt and pepper.

To serve, arrange the chicken breasts on dinner plates and top with lots of sauce. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve alongside.

Insanely delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe about 12 times now, with and without the chicken. My extremely picky husband LOVES it.

Fabulous Meal!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family and I love this recipe. I personally use Smoke Beef Sausage instead of Chorizo, and use Jasmine Rice instead of... normal rice. The Jasmine rice enhances the flavor profile and creates a great dish. We even like to leave out the chicken and just have the Sausage, rice and sweet Pea sauce. Read more

So so. Didn't really dig it
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

the chicken was ok but the sauce just doesnt really work. The chorizo is a very strange texture for a sauce.

Excellent...will be eating all week!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was great! I am usually quite overwhelmed by the amount of ingredients and time it takes to make Rachael's... recipes (30 minutes?! Yeah right!), but this recipe was worth it. Not too budget-friendly (as with almost all of her recipes, this one calls for small amounts of ingredients you may not use often), unless you consider that you will be eating the leftovers for a week! This would be great for a family of 4 or more...not to mention that it has layers of flavor and is very satisfying. Overall, very impressed!!Read more

A disaster
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was fooled by the rating that were highly exgerated. The Thyme overpowered other spices and my wife ridiculed it. And I... consider my self a good cook! Talked to a fiend about it and he said Rachel Ray is all show and not too much culinary value. With apologies ZubinRead more

Awsome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a hit with my family. I was watching 30mm and heard rachel say you could use it with pork. So we used it with our... pork chops and everyone ate it. I used bacon instead of sausage. My nine year old son never eats his rice and this time he licked his plate clean. This is the new way I make rice now. Everyone should try this to spice up a tradional chicken and rice meal..Read more
