Chicken and Chorizo Stew
Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Mary Clayton Carl
High flavor fills each bowl of Chicken and Chorizo Stew--thanks to the saffron and chorizo. This Spanish-influenced stew is chockful of vegetables, making it a perfect one-dish meal. Chorizo comes in two forms: Spanish, which is used in this recipe, is cured and firm.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 6 ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 14 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken, reserving cooking liquid; cool. Shred chicken. Strain cooking liquid through a fine sieve over a bowl; discard solids.
Step 2
Wipe pan with paper towels. Sauté sausage over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add potato, onion, and bell pepper; sauté 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and next 3 ingredients (through saffron); sauté 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add reserved cooking liquid; bring to a simmer. Simmer 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shredded chicken; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar. Ladle about 1 cup stew into each of 4 bowls; top each serving with parsley.
Chicken and Chorizo "Soup"?
Maybe I did something wrong but this was more like a soup than a stew. Flavors were just okay. Very disappointed.
Great family dinner
Delicious. My family loved it. I added a half pound of clams in shell in the last few minute.

Just made this for the second time. It's wonderful; just right on a winters night. My husband and adult son love it. Made it exactly as written, the ingredients were a little expensive, but it got cheaper with the next batch. Invest in this, it's worth it!

This is a great stew. Only make it if you can find chorizo or the portuguese version - chourico - which I like even better. Wonderful, balanced flavors.

Made this tonight for my family and they loved it. I added about 1/2 can of tomato paste and more sherry vinegar at the end, which made it a little sweeter. Very filling and satisfying. I used the chorizo from Whole Foods, which was very good.

I didn't care for the flavors in this recipe. Something seemed "off" about it.

Wonderful and hearty stew. Since I didn't have saffron threads, I used a little turmeric. I ate one serving, my husband ate everything else.
