Chicken Chorizo Rice

I have learned about this recipe from the internet recently. I wanted something different, something more flavourful from what I have daily thus I'm on a mission to search for something different.

 

Please find the recipe as below

 

Main Ingredients:-

1) Basmati rice - washed and drained.

2) Frozen veg ( original recipe call for frozen peas but I prefer
   frozen veg for more colors)

3) Whole tomato with puree (canned)

4) Chicken ( I used drumstick - you can use other part depends on
   your preference) - washed and pat dried. Season with a little 
   bit of salt

5) Paprika powder ( 1 teaspoon) - mix with the basmati rice after
   washing

6) Pepper (1 teaspoon)  - mix with the basmati rice after washing

7) Chorizo flavoured hotdogs - cut into small pieces according to
   your preference

8) Garlic and onion

9) Water - for cooking rice ( amount depend on amount of rice used
   and quality of rice used. Also depends if you prefer the
   outcome to be slightly wet or dry)

10)Cooking Oil

 

P/S: I did not mention in exact the measurement or quantity to use in my recipe as it all depend on feeling. I feel that when comes to cooking, you sometimes have to follow your heart on the recipe. Yup, I'm a "agak-agak" chef you might say. By this way, cooking will be more fun. Don't you think so :p

The main ingredients

Methods:-

1) Heat up wok and put the oil in. Cook chicken for few minutes to
   lock in the juice and transfer to plate follow by chicken chorizo
   hotdogs and the frozen veg.

2) Saute the garlic and onion until slightly brown and add in
   basmati rice ( already mixed with paprika and pepper). Stir the
   rice for a few minute to absorb the flavour from the chicken 
   and also from the chorizo hotdogs, garlic and onion.

3) Add tomatoes (including the puree) and stir to mix well. Add in
   water and bring to boil.

4) Season to taste.

5) Add in chicken, chorizo hotdogs and also the frozen veg. Mix
   well.

6) Transfer to a pot for steam or rice cooker. Original recipe used
   baking method. I prefer to steam the rice as it is easier to
   control. If not enough water while steaming the rice, I still can
   add in water.



The final outcome - it is a little bit wet due to using a little bit more water.
