Ingredients

  • 1 kg pack of chicken thighs (£1.82)
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes (£0.32x2)=(£0.64)
  • 2 medium onions (£0.18)
  • 110 g (½) chorizo sausage (£1.85/2)=(£0.93)
  • 3 cloves of garlic (£0.69/3)=(£0.23)
  • 400 g brown rice (£1.10/2)=£0.55)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • Pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C

  • Before placing the chicken into a large baking tray, cut off the excess skin that isn’t directly attached to the thigh.
  • Chop the onion into wedges, crush the garlic and slice the chorizo into fairly small pieces. Add all ingredients to the baking tray and coat with a tbsp of olive oil.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and season with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp parsley and pepper (chorizo provides enough salt)!
  • Place in oven. Timer-45 minutes, turning the thighs over at 15 minutes then again at 30 minutes.
  • Pop the rice on with a 1:2 water ratio. After 15 minutes the rice and chicken will be ready.

I’d usually eat one portion and with the remaining 3 portions I’d put one in the fridge and two in the freezer
