Low-Carb Chicken & Chorizo Paella - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
10 ounces chorizo sausage
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 large tomatoes, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced fine
1 pinch saffron
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 head cauliflower, grated with box grater (to resemble rice)
Preparation
-
Brown chorizo until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon leaving fat in the pan. Toss chicken with paprika, cumin, salt, & pepper. Cook in chicken in chorizo fat until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside with chorizo.
Add onion and pepper, cook until tender. Add tomatoes and garlic and continue cooking, scraping up brown bits as they form. Salt & pepper to taste.
This mixture will begin to look brown and thick, (this is important for flavor) - add chicken broth and saffron and continue stirring until liquid is reduced and thickened slightly. Add chorizo, chicken & cauliflower. Cook until cauliflower just tender - about 5 minutes.
