Spanish Chicken & Chickpea «Arroz»
Method
Sear Chicken: Sauté diced chicken in olive oil with paprika for 5 minutes until golden.
Soften Aromatics: Stir in diced red pepper and cook for 3 minutes until tender.
Simmer Stew: Add chickpeas, bone broth, and saffron threads, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce Base: Cook uncovered for 12 minutes until the liquid reduces and coats the chickpeas.
Chef's Tip
Nutritional Insight: Replacing white rice with prebiotic chickpeas multiplies the soluble fibre matrix to sustain fullness and support optimal metabolic gut health. Culinary Hack: Slightly crush a quarter of the chickpeas with a fork whilst simmering to thicken the sauce without using starch.
