Chorizo & chicken risotto

One of the easiest recipes for risotto. In this one I used Tescos risotto rice,but feel free  to use any brand you like. Ingredients: One chorizo sauce (peel off the skin) Two chicken breasts One onion Two garlic cloves 6-8 sundried tomatoes 1 package of double cream Risotto rice Olive oil Cayenne pepper White pepper 1. Get the rice going.Pour the rice in water and   let it boil.  I usually add a chicken stock cube as well. 2. Fry the chicken,add the onion,garlic and chorizo. 3. Spices can be added at this point plus the olive oil. 4. When everything is cooked,add the cream and stir well. Once the meats are ready,add all of it in the risotto rice. Mix well and enjoy I did a similar dish which had just chorizo and paprika in it. The image is from that dinner. 😁
