There are SOOOO many things stressing me out right now. So many, that even thinking about them is making me even more stressed.

So instead of focusing on them – like my brain seems determined to every night between 3-4 am – I am going to focus on lovely things instead.

Cold weather = perfect excuse to snuggle on the sofa with several cozy blankets, a dog and a glass of wine.

Perfect excuse to indulge in some hearty, comforting meals like this Spanish chicken stew.

Now let’s get back to this Spanish chicken, chorizo and lentil stew. The recipe caught my eye on a Waitrose mailer and am glad to report it is delicious, easy and ready in about 30 minutes.

I added a bit of chorizo to spice it up a bit further… because chorizo is just guaranteed to liven up pretty much any recipe.

I also swapped the chicken breasts for skinless chicken thighs as they are much more tender when cooked in a stew. Slice them thinly so that they cook quickly and remove any fatty bits.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN CHORIZO STEW

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the chorizo for a couple of minutes until it starts to colour and release its spicy oil.

Add the onions and garlic and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the chicken, increase the heat slightly and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to colour.

Add the tomatoes, lentils, stock and olives. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Take the lid off and cook for a further 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Check the seasoning and add pepper and salt, if needed.

Serve garnished with a pinch of dried chilli flakes and a few sprigs fresh oregano or thyme. Make sure to offer some crusty bread on the side and maybe a glass of red wine.

    This looks awesome!! I’ve been feeling the same way as you lately. Especially balancing what realistically is 2 full-time jobs, I’ve been feeling burned out lately. I am always reminding myself to take comfort in the small everyday things. Those are the things that really matter!
