  Don't bother using fresh tomatoes - imo it actually tastes better with tinned ones, and much less faff.

  I make this regularly as it is a firm favourite. I use 2 tins of chopped tomatoes (one of them being chilli toms) instead of fresh and don't bother with the olives, sour cream and coriander. Delicious

  I decided to make this chicken and chorizo stew in my slow cooker after seeing good reviews and positive comments. I followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed as were my family. The dish was very bland and in my opinion, the ingredients did not work well together! I would not make this again.

  I made a few tweaks for my tastes - no olives and half the chopped tomatoes - then added courgettes, peppers and some paprika. It was delicious!

  This is delicious, love by all and is perfect for a warming meal especially during the coming, cold nights.

  The times for this dish seem to be based on cooking it on the hob. How long does it take in the slow cooker? Sorry to be thick, but i've just bought my slow cooker and haven't yet worked out how to adjust times on recipes in order to cook them in the slow cooker!

  Really lovely, we left out the olives. I used the juice of a whole fresh lime and fat free creme fraiche on top(just a little) instead of sour cream. Fab!!

  Wonderful tasty stew that is a little different to the norm. My family loved it and it made a change to use chicken and chorizo without it being in a paella or on a pizza

  Very tasty, is currently a favourite on our household. I cook it in the slow cooker and it is very quick and easy to do! Definitely recommend!

  This has become a firm favorite in our household. I made it for the first time about a year ago. I used left over chicken (usually from a roast the night before), it's a great way to use up your leftovers and make two meals out of one bird!

  on 22/1/15

• Guest

  made this yesterday in the slow cooker, it was so so easy and tasted delicious.

  on 30/12/14

• Guest

  Used sweet potato and some peppa dews... Got the thumbs up. Thanks!

  on 27/11/13

• Guest

  In the middle of making this now so fingers crossed! lol

  on 4/8/13

• Guest

  Have made this loads of times as it is so easy to make and a lovely one pot meal. I have also passed recipe on to lots of friends.

  on 15/2/13

• Guest

  Made this today, delicious!! It served 4 easily, with some left over for another day or the freezer. Would recommend.

  on 2/1/13

• Guest

  I made this, this afternoon but halfway through cooking, I realised I had no tomatoes! Soo, I cooked some onions, added chorizo, then added chicken, then hot chilli powder, black pepper, chicken stock, tomato puree, red pesto, sweetcorn, sliced mushrooms and at the end, cooked rice. DS1 LOVED IT and ate 2 platefuls, he never does that :D

  on 31/10/12

• Guest

  Smaller quantities will work fine in your big slow cooker - or you could double up & freeze it?

  on 21/8/12

• Guest

  Hi - I have a 6 litre slow cooker (huge, I know!). So, would I have to therefore double this recipe for it to work? Thanks, Caroline

  on 20/8/12

• Guest

  made this today, instead of usual sunday dinner and the whole family loved it! will be cooking this again!!!!

  on 12/8/12

• Guest

  instead of tinned tomatoes and chilli powder, you can use a fresh or jar of arrabiatta sauce too - firey tomato and chilli sauce which is great. I have also done it with beef instead of chicken which works well.

  on 10/6/12

• Guest

  This is a great recipe but instead of chilli, I added mixed herbs and instead of potatoes I added rice (about 15 mins before serving). Great results and great for the slow cooker. Will defo be making it again.

  on 9/6/12

• Guest

  A favourite in our house, I cook it in the slow cooker and use passatta instead of the chopped toms and then add some dumplings for the last hour and half.

  on 24/5/12

• Guest

  Me and my family love this!! I made it in the slow cooker, gorgeous. Our 7 and 2 year old ate it all and said how yummy it was. We will definatley be having this again.

  on 13/5/12

• Guest

  This is similar to a recipe I use but I add red or green pesto to mine and it tastes lovely.

  on 9/4/12

• Guest

  Cooked this in the slow cooker while camping this weekend. I fried the chorizo first so I could cook the onions and the chicken in the flavoured fat and I added a red pepper. I put too much chilli in to feed to the kids (they had spag bol) but the adults absolutely loved it. The chicken was so succulent it just fell off the bone. This will definitely be a camping fav as it's so easy and can cook all day while we're out having fun. I served with mash and broccoli. Thanks for the recipe.

• kerri m(17)

  This has become a fav in our house, and there is usually enough left over to freeze. Even fed it to my inlaws! Have tried it both on the hob and slow cooker. Great meal without being stuck in the kitchen for ages! Yum!

  on 29/3/12

• Guest

  I do find this dish can be oily, especially when its been in the slow cooker all day, but it is very tasty!! My children love it and its become a huge family favourite. We eat it with cheese topped bloomer, yummy!!!

  on 7/2/12

• Guest

  chicken thighs are the best for this recipe and cheaper! i love it, as does everyone else who has tasted it!

  on 29/1/12

• Mrs S(48)

  i must be the only person who didnt like this dish then (apart from my hubby) i made it in the slow cooker and the only thing i did differently was use chopped chicken rather than breasts as thats what i had in oh and i added some peppers but i found it quite bland and neither of us liked it very much so i wont be trying it again. i followed the recipe so not sure what went wrong

  on 28/1/12

• Guest

  I used this recipe as a base, but adapted to use what i had in already, my creation used a tin of butter beans instead of potatoes, powdered smoked paprika instead of chilli powder, and a chopped carrot, all tipped in the slow cooker and came out perfect, very tasty and filling, i will use this recipe again im sure, however i have 2 portions left to freeze so wont need to just yet. many thanks for sharing

  on 22/1/12

• Guest

  This dish is absolutely fantastic. Lobbed everything in the slow cooker this morning (no need to pre-cook anything) and ate it 8 hours later. Will take the advice of others next time and try with peppers too. Next time we have guests - this is what we're having, as it's a no fuss meal but tastes great. Thank you Jo for this recipe

  on 14/1/12

• Guest

  made this yesterday and the whole family loved it, thank you!

  on 10/1/12

• Guest

  Dawn, I would fry before putting in the slow cooker - it will release the flavours

  on 9/1/12

• Guest

  I just throw it all in. All the flavours infuse, its delicious is this receipe!

  on 9/1/12

• Guest

  Does anyone know if you need to fry things first if using slow cooker. Just bought one today.

  on 9/1/12

• Guest

  Try adding canellini beans, mmmmm!

  on 19/12/11

  Made this in the slow cooker. Tasted lovely and froze well.

  on 18/12/11

• Guest

  Made this in my slow cooker and was a hit with ALL the family (thats rare). Even my 6 year old asked if she could have more chorizo in her portion (usually she hates chorizo). Definitely going into my book of 'tried and tested family meals'. I added in carrots and pepper to mine.

  on 13/12/11

• Guest

  made this yesterday excluding olives, will definetly be making again, yum yum

  on 30/11/11

• RACHAEL M(94)

  made last night and added a red pepper and tin of chickpeas to bulk it out a bit, was yummy!

  on 25/11/11

• Guest

  I've made this for dinner tonight, but used cannellini beans instead of potatoes - it works really well and tastes lovely, if I do say so myself!

  on 22/11/11

• Guest

  Excellent, will be making again! Added haricot beans instead of potatoes

  on 2/11/11

• Guest

  Have just made this in my slow cooker, WOW, its lovely. I didn't have 2 tins of tomatoes so added baked beans instead and carrots for extra veg! Will be making this again on Bonfire night.

  on 31/10/11

• Guest

  Made this in the slow cooker over night, and it was just delicious! My 17 month old & my husband both loved it yum yum

  on 25/10/11

• Guest

  Fantastic, made for family ad inlaws today and served with fresh home cooked bread. All round winner from us. Been told I can cook this again, so it must have been good

  on 23/10/11

• Guest

  Very nice - my husband described it as "hearty, but a bit exotic"! I will also do it again without the chili powder as it was too spicy to offer it to my toddler.

  on 23/10/11

• Guest

  Tried this last night and the whole family loved it. Will def do it again but without the chili powder as daughter found it a little to spicy.

  on 22/10/11

• Guest

  This was delicious. The Chorizo sausage works really well with the chicken. Will definately be on the menu again.

  on 20/10/11

  wonderful tasty dish, warming and conforting suitable for every occasion

  on 17/10/11

• Guest

  All my family love this recipe. Usually bung it all in the slow cooker and reduce the quantity of stock and use just one tin of tomatoes. Gorgeous with buttered bread straight out of the oven.

  on 14/10/11

• Guest

  Great recipe - I cooked this for my family and a friend for tonight's dinner - they loved it, including my 20 month old and four year old who are fussy! I added carrots and celery to get a bit more veg in. I served it with rice. Delicious

  on 13/10/11

• Guest

  Great recipe, I always have a chorizo ring in the fridge as a back up. The kids love the flavour.

  on 12/10/11

  A great meal, enjoyed by all! Can also be used as a filling in a Pie!

  on 10/10/11

• Guest

  I added a few capers and some paprika, and it turned out really yummy! :) @ Gemma M I've had problems with potatoes still being hard after hours of cooking, and have learnt to cut them quite small, no more then inch cubes or half-inch slices, and to make sure they are on the bottom and submerged.

  on 8/10/11

• Guest

  YUMMY!!! My children are 3,10 and 15 and we all loved this. So tasty and easy too !

  on 8/10/11

  A real winter warmer :-) yum yum just missed out the olives yuck yuck x

  on 6/10/11

• Guest

  Delicious, a really tasty meal, I added a courgette and some mixed peppers and used boneless skinless chicken thighs - definitely a success even my husband enjoyed it and he is very fussy, not tried it on the 2 and half year old yet - another fussy one but am hoping he likes it Will be making again 100%

  on 28/8/11

• Julie N(13)

  This is very similar to my recipe, I use chicken legs and like to put plenty of basil in too. Yummy.

  on 22/8/11

• Guest

  I just put it all in raw. Some people prefer to brown it but it works without doing that.

  on 22/8/11

• Guest

  Did you put all the ingredients into the slow cooker raw? As in raw chicken? or did you need to brown it first? Sounds scrummy!

  on 21/8/11

• Guest

  Yummy!!! Made this tonight & it went down a storm, was told by DD1 that I have to make it every Sunday from now on! Even DD2 ate it all & she is so fussy at times! Made it with lamb instead (had ran out of chicken)and only used 1 tin of tomatoes, left out potatoes as I was going to have it with rice but then realised had ran out of that too (just before payday & need to do big shop), so had it with potato wedges & veg instead, was delicious & the girls loved dipping them into the sauce! All in all a resounding success!!!

  on 21/8/11

• Guest

  I made this tonight well i must say the family was rather impressed x will be making it more often was lush served with a warm crusty roll xx

  on 17/8/11

• Guest

  Made this tonight & it was really tasty. I halved the quantities, had plenty tonight & have 2 slightly smaller portions left over for lunch tomorrow. I served mine with crust bread.

  on 8/8/11

• Guest

  think my family are just wierd. not a bad comment on here about this recipe, i thought it was delicious but my husband and 2 boys turned their noses up! well back to the drawing board!

  on 8/6/11

• Guest

  Gorgeous cooked in slow cooker, and sooooo easy! Ideal when hav a little one and can't stand by a cooker! Wil make this regularly!x

  on 24/5/11

• Guest

  Delicious!! Put this in the slow cooker this morning,cooked it for 7 hours, and we've just eaten it for dinner. Its really good. I left out the potatoes and added a tin of cannellini beans instead. I only used one tin of toms and a bit less stock as it looked enough for the sauce and used a mixture of chicken breasts and thighs to satisfy fussy eaters! There is some sauce left which is too tasty to bin so I will freeze it to pour over a grilled chicken breast another time. I served mine with rice, broccolli and green beans. Yum. Thanks Jo x

  on 12/3/11

  Wow! It really is true - simple ingredients are best! What a find this recipe is. You will not be disappointed. I would go so far as to say if you have to cook for someone who you have never met before and want to impress - this will do it! It's easy and gorgeous. I always check reviews before making recipes and all the reviews on this recipe were right. It is gorgeous. I did a slightly different version! I cooked it in the slow cooker without the potatoes. When I got home I put it all in a bigger pan (we only have a slow cooker for 2) and added some basmati rice and a little more stock until the rice was cooked. Had to watch it tho, the rice sticks - only takes about 10 mins with basmati rice. Also I used veg stock, not chicken which was fine. I also used chicken drumsticks (I prefer the flavour of thighs and drumsticks!) I left the skin on for flavour. Take it off for low fat I guess!

  on 20/2/11

• Guest

  I do this but with rice not potatoes and its more like a risotto/paella thing. Tastes lovely and all my family enjoy it! Just have to keep adding water/passata to stop it getting dry through the cooking process. Yummy!

  on 27/1/11

• Guest

  I made this tonight and it was delicious. I added mushrooms and peppers and as we didn't have any crusty bread we had it with toast!! It worked well and I'll be cooking it again.

  on 27/1/11

  Made this the other night was so so so tasty !!! every one enjoyed it x

  on 25/1/11

• Guest

  Made this tonight in the slow cooker - delicious! I also added a can of chick peas & some ras el hanout (Moroccan spice mix). Loved the fact I just needed to put everything in the slow cooker, and let it cook away on high for almost 5 hours. Thumbs up!

  on 17/1/11

• Guest

  I cooked this yesterday for tea for 4 adults.. it was lovely :-) a big hit!! i cooked it in the slow cooker on high for 5hours and it was perfect, i also used sweet potatoes instead of normal and added sweet red peppers to the recipe too.. Will definately do this again :-)

  on 11/1/11

• Guest

  Great easy recipe - had this for supper tonight and added chopped up mushrooms and courgetttes to the mixture. I used new potatoes and they cooked through perfectly. Will definitely be making this again - yummy!! For anyone interested it worked out to approx 410 calories per serving, great, tasty and filling especially as I'm on a diet!!

  on 15/11/10

• Guest

  I did this for our sat night bonfire party for 8 adults. It went down a storm! I used chicken thighs and the chicken was so tender and the chorizo (bought from deli counter at morrisons. I did jacket spus to go with it as couldnt get that many potatoes in my slow cooker. Did it for about 9 hours in the slow cooker.

  on 8/11/10

  on 23/10/10

• Guest

  We called this chicken and chorizo chilli...we used boneless and skinless chicken thighs instead as they have more flavour and are cheaper...got the chorizo from the deli as it works out more value more money...added peppers..no potatoes and my oh added olives to his at the end. We had with rice and it was absolutely georgous...will have again. thankyou. :)

  on 21/10/10

• leah w(54)

  Had this for tea tonight and hubby said it was my new signature dish so I guess this was enjoyed. I added a red pepper chopped at the begining of the cooking time and I left on all night on medium heat in slow cooker then all day on high heat. Absolutely delish definately a regular on my menu now.

  on 14/10/10

• Guest

  Cooked this yesterday for tea in the slowcooker, put in before went to work and bought some crusty bagettes, the whole pot went at tea time (3 children).....great !!!!

  on 8/10/10

• Guest

  I made this last night and it was a resounding success and loved by all 4 of us (including a 3 and a 1 year old!). I made mine in the slow cooker and used chicken thighs instead of breast as I find that the thighs tend to stay nice and moist. Definitely one that will be repeated!

  on 5/10/10

• Guest

  I did this in the slow cooker - yum! Bags of flavour and so easy!

  on 5/10/10

  this was so yummy such a lovely warm comforting meal when the nightd are getting darker but defo cook the potatoes in water first they were a little hard

  on 2/10/10

  I do not enjoy cooking one little bit but found this very easy to do! Was really tasty and nice comfort food for when it gets colder.

  on 30/9/10

• Guest

  Had this for tea tonight and it was delicious. Think I'll add more chilli next time as we like it really spicy and might add some chickpeas as well. Fed 4 of us and I have enough left over to have with rice tomorrow for myself and two daughters as OH is away. Very economical meal!

  on 26/9/10

• Guest

  I have cooked this recipe and I must say that chorizo is my new best friend as there are different varieties. This went down well with all of the family and can be served with pasta, cous cous or rice. I have added celery (which I really don't like but the chorizo helps disguise the taste),sweetcorn and peppers.

  on 17/9/10

• sarah f(567)

  This was gorgeous and so simple. Just put it all into the slow cooker. Hold back on the chilli, think 1tsp is ok for children but 2tsp is a bit too hot. Lovely with the sour cream, bread an big glass of wine!

  on 12/9/10

• Guest

  I made this today in my slow cooker, smells as good as it tastes. I have added a green and orange pepper. Very filling and plenty left over for my husband to take to work tomorrow.

  on 9/6/10

• Guest

  YUMMY!!!! Made this today in the slow cooker (minus potatoes as DS1 only eats mash potatoes) and served it with rice. I used chicken drumsticks and added yellow and green peppers. It went down a treat with both myself DS1 (5) and DS2 (23 months), plus my parents. DS1 liked it so much, that he had the remainder (just really the sauce left) just now for his supper. He's also asked me to make it again tomorrow. Thanks for a great recipe

  on 2/5/10

• Guest

  This was delicious! I made it on the hob and found the sauce to be a prefect consistency, not too watery at all. The flavours were lovely and potatoes cooked thoroughly. I added courgettes which went really well. I'll definitely make this again!

  on 30/3/10

• Guest

  I've not done it with chicken pieces but I'd have thought it would work - as the meat is mainly cooked in the sauce it shouldn't dry out which would be my only concern. Lucy

  on 17/3/10

• Tracy H(147)

  I was just wondering if anyone has used diced chicken instead of chicken breasts for this recipe??

  on 17/3/10

• Guest

  We had this tonight for dinner and it was a big success, i left out the potatoes and served it with rice, plenty left for hubby for work tomorrow.

  on 14/3/10

• Guest

  Do you need to gently fry the chicken to seal it first? Or put it straight in slow cooker raw? Thanks.

  on 15/2/10

• Guest

  Sorry - take my last comment back, just gone back to it after a couple more hours in the slow cooker and it is spot on. Delicious! Thanks for yet another great recipe!

  on 5/2/10

• Guest

  This is much more tastier than normal chicken casserole. I made it in the slow cooker and added, mushrooms,courgette, peppers and olives. I also added a tin of new potatoes. Definately comes a firm second though to my faviourite recipe on this website - chicken Jambalaya. I think it is the consistency, even though I added a lot of cornflour found it quite watery.

  on 5/2/10

• Guest

  I browned the chicken and onions first then added all the ingrdients as well as courgettes, peppers and mushrooms to the slow cooker and the result was gorgeous! I left out the potatoes and served with rice instead. My kids even had seconds which is unheard of.

  on 2/2/10

• Guest

  I made this dish in the slow cooker, put it on at 10.30pm and by 9am the next morning the potatos were still hard :S Everything else perfect so i fished all the potatoes out and i will boil fresh ones for dinner 2nite Otherwise chicken and chorizo is perfect!!!! x

  on 12/1/10

• Guest

  Delicious - it all went, the dregs of the sauce were mopped up by bread and everyone had seconds!

  on 8/11/09

• Guest

  This was lovely. I added a courgette and some chopped red pepper and just served it with peas. Will be doing it again.

  on 15/10/09

  Made this last night. I added ready cooked chorizo after I served my daughter and she, at 18mths, loved it!

  on 8/10/09

• Guest

  I made this tonight for dinner - I was delicious! My partner and I both loved it. It's similar to Chicken Tonight's Spanish Chicken sauce but a lot nicer! The chorizo just makes the dish!
