Hi, Friends! It’s Rita Joy from Harbour Breeze Home here. I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the lookout for new meal ideas for our busy household. Today’s One Pot Meal: Chicken Chorizo Bake was a surprise discovery as I watched a snippet of a talk show with Jamie Oliver as a guest. Through the magic of tv, he whipped up this meal in mere minutes! I was inspired to try a variation of that recipe that very night, and have made it many times since.
It’s quick to prepare, healthy & filling, and bursting with flavour! The added bonus is that it’s all prepared in just one pan.

Here’s how to make it:
1. Chop into large chunks: 2 small sweet potatoes, 2 medium potatoes, 2 red peppers, and one onion. Place all in a large baking dish.
2. Put the kettle on to boil some water (to make “chorizo tea”), and place the following ingredients in a blender: 1 packet chicken bouillon, 1- 4 inch piece of hot chorizo sausage sliced, 2 peeled garlic cloves, 2 tsp. dried rosemary, and 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar.
3. Pour 1 1/4 cups boiling water over blender ingredients. Cover tightly and blend until smooth.
4. Place 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been cut into chunks on the top of the veggies, and pour the blender ingredients over the top. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix all together.
Bake at 400 degrees F covered with aluminum foil for 45 minutes. Then uncover, and bake 35 minutes more ~ or until bubbling and the chicken and veggies are cooked through.
