Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 free-range chicken supreme (or skinless breast)
- Approximately 4 1/2-ounces trimmed kale (a generous 1/2 cup)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil (not extra-virgin)
- 4 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced then chopped
- 1 (14-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
- Smoked sweet paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the stock to a gentle boil, lower in the chicken and cook, still gently, for 10 minutes or until all trace of pink has disappeared. Pierce with the point of a knife to check.
- Meanwhile, cook the kale, which you’ve roughly torn into pieces, in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes (if it’s tough) and drain. Then heat the oil in a frying pan, throw in the chopped chorizo, add the drained cannellini and, stirring, warm everything through, moistening with a couple of tablespoons or so of the chicken stock – or more if you want this soupier.
- Tip the beans and chorizo into a shallow bowl or lipped plate, roughly arrange the kale on top (drizzling with a little extra-virgin olive oil if you like) and then lift the cooked chicken out of the stock with a spatula and sit this on top of the kale. Sprinkle the pale chicken breast with the paprika and gaze at your Spanish still life of a supper before eating it.

Absolutely delicious Nigella! Real, filling comfort food with the added bonus of having lots left over for lunches! Sometimes I tend to really overdo it and when that’s the case, I can feed friends or my darling French Mastiffs who are only too happy for a bit of human food! Makes them feel loved.
I made this for my husband and he LOVED IT! I used spinach instead of kale. The chicken is so tender and the chorizo makes the beans rich and decadent.
I’ve made this before and it’s always a hit.
This dish was really easy, but seemed like too much chorizo for me. Considering how few ingredients there are the sausage does add a nice flavor, but reminded me too much of beef jerky in taste and it being a bit chewy. All in all an easy dinner for one option, but is enough to feed two for sure.
Wonderful, I’ll make this again!
Very filling, quick and easy dinner.
This recepy is just delicius…….
it was easy, quick, and delicious!
