Spanish Chicken Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    750 g diced chicken
    1/2 - 1 chorizo sausage
    olive oil (for frying)
    1 red capsicum, diced
    1 green capsicum, diced
    1 -2 medium onion, diced
    1 -2 medium carrot, diced
    2 tablespoons tomato paste
    440 g crushed tomatoes
    2 garlic cloves
    2 cups chicken stock (to cover) or 2 cups beef stock (to cover)
    1 bay leaf
    2 teaspoons paprika
    1 cup red wine (optional)
Preparation
    In a wok brown the chicken in the olive oil and remove.
    Add the chorizo, garlic, capsicum, carrot and onion to the wok and stir-fry about 5 minutes (until softened).
    Add the paprika and fry until fragrant (about 1 min), add the red wine and fry until the alcohol (but not the liquid) has evaporated.
    Then add the tomato paste, tomatoes, bay leaf and stock and cook a further 5 minutes, adding only enough liquid to almost cover the other ingredients.
    Add cooked chicken and heat through.
    Transfer into a really large casserole dish (sorry I don't know the capacity) and bake at 180\u00b0C for 1 hour.
    The original recipe added olives and parsley after the hour and cooked a further 15-20 minutes, I found this was too much but you may wish to try it.
    We eat it with Jasmine rice.
