Chicken & Chorizo jambalaya

[paganflossy]

Hi
Have just started SW and this is a recipe I have used for ages so I thought I could tweak it for SW- if someone can check I have the syns right I would be grateful

Its from BBC Good Food

Serves 4

• Frylight (recipe calls for 1 tbsp olive oil)
• 2 skinless chicken breasts , chopped (skinless thighs are good too)
• 1 onion , diced
• 1 red pepper , thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves , crushed
• 75g chorizo , sliced
• 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• 250g long grain rice
• 400g can plum tomatoes
• 350ml chicken stock
• Peas

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown the chicken for 5-8 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Tip in the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Then add the pepper, garlic, chorizo and Cajun seasoning, and cook for 5 mins more.
2. Stir the chicken back in with the rice, add the tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender.

I am thinking that 100g of chorizo is 6.5 syns so this would work out at 2 syns a portion... I cant see anything else that is syns on EE or have I got it wrong.

I've also used this recipe but add more peppers (and sometimes a courgette), low fat sausages and some smoked paprika, it's more veg, less syns and still tastes just as yummy!

Oh this sounds good!

Don't like too many peppers but courgette sounds good... Prawns are a a good addition as well
