What You Need To Make Chicken Chorizo Stew In A Ninja Foodi

This recipe was made in the pressure cooker function of the Ninja Foodi 15-in-1, but it could be made in any pressure cooker or multi-cooker.

The amounts below served 4 people, you can decrease or increase the ingredients depending on how many people you are serving.

1 tbsp olive oil
750g – 1kg boneless chicken thighs
450ml chicken stock
1 tsp ground turmeric
350g basmati rice, rinsed
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
150g chorizo, diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium onion, chopped

Start by making up the chicken stock (I added 1 stock pot/cube to 450ml of boiling water) and stir in the turmeric.

Switch the pressure cooker on and select the sauté mode. Add the olive oil (or oil of your choice) and leave it to heat up.

Add the chopped onions, peppers, crushed garlic and chorizo and sauté them for a few minutes.

Be careful to not allow any of the ingredients to burn on the bottom. If any do, use some of the hot stock to deglaze the base. Simply pour a small amount of the stock into the pot and then use a wooden or plastic spatula to scrape away any stuck or burnt on ingredients.

Switch the sauté function off and add the remaining ingredients – the chicken, rice and remaining stock. Stir everything together before placing the pressure cooker lid on the Ninja Foodi.

Select the pressure cooker function and set it on ‘high’ and the time at 8 minutes.

At the end of the cooking time leave the pressure cooker to naturally release for 10 minutes before performing a quick release.

Equipment

Ninja Foodi 15-in-1

Ingredients

450 ml chicken stock
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 green pepper chopped
1 red pepper chopped
150 g chorizo diced
3 garlic cloves crushed
1 medium onion chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
750 g – 1kg boneless chicken thighs
300 g long-grain rice rinsed

Instructions

Make up the chicken stock by dissolving 1 chicken stock cube or pot in 450ml boiling water. Add the ground turmeric to the chicken stock and set it to one side.
Switch the Ninja Foodi on and into sauté mode. Add the olive oil (or oil of your choice) and leave it to heat up for about 1 minute. Add the chopped onion and cook it for a few minutes then add the crushed garlic, chopped peppers and diced chorizo. Sauté the ingredients for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
If any of the ingredients stick to the base of the Ninja bowl use a little bit of the hot stock to deglaze the pot.
Switch the sauté function off and add the remaining ingredients – the chicken, rice and the hot stock.
Place the pressure cooker lid on the Ninja Foodi and remember to put it into the seal position.
Set the Ninja Foodi to the pressure cooker function (on high) and set the timer to 8 minutes. The Ninja Foodi should take around 10 to 15 minutes to come to pressure.
At the end of the pressure cooking time leave the Ninja Foodi for 10 minutes before performing a quick release. Gently fluff up the rice and stir the ingredients around. You can optionally shred or cut up some of the chicken thighs.
