Feeling in need of a bit of a treat? Our Chicken and Chorizo Risotto is a great dish to put a smile on everyone’s faces. Being huge fans of paella, we thought our Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste would be an amazing addition and decided to go for big, bold flavours when we developed this recipe. Chorizo and chicken are a match made in flavour heaven and the smoky flavour of Chipotle Paste takes this dish to another level. This chicken & chorizo risotto recipe would also work really well with leftover roast chicken. Our Mexican Bean Salad would be a great accompaniment to this chicken chorizo risotto and as an appetiser for this chicken risotto, you could try our Grilled Avocado With Chipotle Prawns recipe. Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste is available on Amazon Prime in the US, UK and across the EU
