Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

Coconut oil, for greasing and frying
4 skinless chicken thighs
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
100ml (about 1/2 cup) chicken stock
30g/1oz chorizo, cut into small chunks
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
100g/3.5oz asparagus
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

    Step 2

    Lightly grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil and then place the chicken thighs into the dish.

    Step 3

    Tuck the onion wedges underneath the thighs, then season each thigh well with a good grind of pepper and a pinch of salt.

    Step 4

    Pour the chicken stock into the dish then place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes.

    Step 5

    Once 30 minutes is up, add the chorizo then place back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes.

    Step 6

    Remove the chicken from the oven and top with the rosemary. Reduce the heat slightly, give the dish a good stir, before placing back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.

    Step 7

    Meanwhile, heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and gently fry the asparagus, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly browned and softened then remove and serve alongside the chicken.
