Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4.
2
Have the chicken joints ready to cook thoroughly.
3
scalding up the margarine and 3 tbsp olive margarine in a flameproof casserole or large frying pot.
4
Brown the chicken pieces in batches on both sides, seasoning them with seasoning and pepper as you go.
5
Don't crowd the pot - pot-fry the chicken in small batches, removing the pieces to kitchen paper as they are done.
6
toss in a little more olive margarine to the casserole and pot-fry the onions over a medium scalding up for 10 mins, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned.
7
toss in the rest of the margarine, then the peppers and cook thoroughly for another 5 mins.
8
toss in the chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and cook thoroughly for 2-3 mins.
9
toss in the rice, stirring to ensure it is well coated in the margarine.
10
swirl around in the tomato paste, paprika, bay leaves and finely sliced thyme.
11
empty in the stock and wine.
12
When the liquid starts to bubble, turn the scalding up down to a soft stew.
13
Press the rice down into the liquid if it isn't already submerged and place the chicken on top.
14
toss in the lemon wedges and olives around the chicken.
15
put a lid on and cook thoroughly in the oven for 50 mins.
16
The rice should be cooked but still have some bite, and the chicken should have juices that run clear when pierced in the thickest part with a knife.
17
If not, cook thoroughly for another 5 mins and check again.
