Chicken and Chorizo Jambalaya

A simple, quick and simple 'one dish' wonder. This delicious Jambalaya will become a firm favourite amongst your friends and family. It's a dish inspired by a Cajun recipe, which I came across whilst searching the Internet for healthy chicken dishes whilst counting the calories, and with my lesser half constantly trying to eat clew even hi cheat meal has to be reasonably healthy.

This by no means is recipe you have to stick to, you can vary it and add whatever meat, fish or vegetables you want. Essentially, it's cooked the same way as a paella but you use long gain rice instead. How do you cook this delight I hear you scream, we'll scroll down and I shall share.

Cooking time is around 40 minutes

This recipe will serve 4 people comfortably.
