Description

• Wed been meaning to try a chicken and chorizo
  risotto recipe with our Gran Luchito Chipotle
  Paste for a while and we finally got around to
  it. It was certainly worth the wait. We wanted
  some big meaty flavours to stand up to the spice,
  and being big fans of paella, we went with
  chorizo and chicken thigh as a tried and tested
  combo. This risotto chicken chorizo recipe would
  also work really well with leftover roast chicken
