  • 8 chicken thighs (or 4 thighs and 4 drumsticks)
  • 2 tbsp Knorr or Maggi seasoning
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil plus more for sautéing
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Marinate chicken pieces in Knorr seasoning for at least an hour or overnight.
  2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken in batches, until golden brown; set aside.

  4. Add chorizo, carrots and mushrooms; sauté for 2 minutes or until mushrooms turned brown.
  5. Add chicken broth and browned chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
