Loved it! Easy and tasty. We ate it with oven baked chips!
Served on rice. Lovely flavour.
I added some garlic and green beans and served with rice. Such a versatile recipe!
Such a versatile recipe. I used chicken breast and added garlic and green beans. We served this with rice. Was delicious!
Loved this recipe, easy to do, added steamed green beans with the olives in the last 30 minutes. Next time thinking of adding some chillie flakes to give a bit more spiciest. Served with rice.
Made this for the family while babysitting last Friday. We had it with basmati rice. So easy and so totally delicious. Thank you.
Hi my children only like chicken breast. If I used this how long do I cook it for?
Thanks so much
Lou
Closer to 3hrs for breast fillets Louisa
Hi Pauline
Short on time today … is it possible to cook 2hrs on high? Or won’t it turn out the same?
Thanks so much again
Louisa ?
I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment until today Louisa. I would certainly recommend the longer on low if you get the time 🙂 But it can be sped up on high for some of it
Not a Chorizo fan. Could Salami be substituted?
Do you like other spicy sausages of that kind?
Made this and absolutely loved it. Added a cornflour slurry at the end to thicken it a bit. Served with rice.
Winner winner chicken dinner ??
We really enjoyed this dish. As per some tips in the comments, I added a cornflour slurry when I added the olives and I served with basmati rice. Next time I’m going to try it with Chicken thighs. Great recipe. Thank you.
Awesome feedback – thanks Jodie! 🙂
very easy preparation, i like to make without the olive’s and it tastes amazing
Thanks so much for leaving your feedback Gresham – I appreciate you! 🙂
