Ingredients

  • 50 g chorizo chopped into small 0.5cm pieces.
  • 1 large onion diced.
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed.

  • 1 sweet potato diced.
  • 750 ml chicken stock
  • 400 g tin chopped tomatoes.
  • 200 g cooked shredded chicken breasts.
  • Freshly Ground Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a large saucepan, large enough to hold 1.5L of liquid.
  • Add the chopped chorizo, stir them around in the pan for 2-3 minutes to release their juices. When chorizo has browned remove the pieces from the saucepan with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
  • Add the onion and garlic and sauté in the chorizo juices until softened, about 3 mins.
  • Add the smoked paprika and stir it in for a few seconds.
  • Add the sweet potato, stir for a minute then add the stock, tomatoes, and chicken. Bring the mixture to the boil. Turn down to simmer for about 20 minutes until the sweet potato is tender.
  • Season to taste, add back the pieces of chopped chorizo stir well and serve.
