Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the chicken over a medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook for a further 4 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate.
  2. Add the onion to the pan and fry for 5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic and paprika and fry for 1 minute more. Stir in the rice, then add the stock and cook without stirring for 25 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. Add the prawns, peas and the set-aside chicken and chorizo. Cook for 4 minutes more. Season, then garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if using.
