Ingredient notes:

The ingredients for One Pot Chicken and Chorizo Bake on a marble bench top.

Chicken: I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs in this recipe, but you can use breasts if you prefer. Because they will be cooked in a lot of liquid, breasts shouldn't dry out like they can in other recipes.
Chorizo: I like my chorizo spicy, but you're welcome to use one that suits your tastes.
Cherry tomatoes: Any type of fresh tomatoes will work in this recipe. I used a combination of whole cherry tomatoes and vine tomatoes.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Step by step instructions:

Preheat the oven to 190°C fan bake. In the base of a large casserole dish, place the chicken thighs then add the chopped chorizo.

Hint: I like to serve mine with roast potatoes. Place these in the oven at the same time as the chicken bake.

Recipe FAQs:

Is this recipe gluten-free?

It can be, just make sure you check that the stock and chorizo you use is gluten-free.

What would you serve with this dish?

I love roast potatoes, but a fresh side salad would be great or on top of fluffy rice if you're looking for something more fulling.

Storage:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat until piping hot.

Top tips:

This meal can easily be prepared ahead of time. Simply assemble everything up to the tomatoes in step 4, then cover and refrigerate until you are ready to cook. Just before placing in the oven, add the stock and olive oil.
