Chicken and Chorizo Stew
Bring bold Spanish–Mexican character to your counter with this vibrant Chicken and Chorizo Stew—a ready-to-cook dish designed to stand out in both flavour and appearance. This recipe combines tender diced chicken with smoky chorizo and hearty mixed beans, creating a rich and satisfying meal option your customers can enjoy with minimal effort at home.
To build depth and consistency, the dish starts with Verstegen Binding DS, which helps the chicken hold moisture during cooking while improving the final texture. Next, the warm, aromatic tones of Verstegen World Spice Blend Mexican lift the whole dish, giving each bite a rounded, gently spiced profile customers instantly recognise and love.
The stew gains its bold body from Verstegen Chilli Con Carne Sauce, a tomato-rich base that blends smoothly with the heat of Verstegen Sambal Oelek. Together, they create a sauce that clings beautifully to the meat and vegetables, adding both colour and flavour without overpowering the palate. Sliced onions and chorizo contribute sweetness and smokiness, while mixed beans introduce extra bite and visual appeal, turning this into a complete one-tray meal shoppers will happily pick up mid-week or at the weekend.
Finally, topping the tray with Verstegen Decoration Blend Espagnol ensures the product looks premium and vibrant in your display. The garnish enhances the dish with a Mediterranean touch and helps your counter stand out with colour and freshness.
Ideal for customers seeking a warming, flavour-packed dinner, this stew offers excellent value, easy cooking, and consistent results. With quality Verstegen ingredients throughout, it delivers reliability for you and a memorable meal for them. Let this dish become a standout favourite in your ready-to-cook range.
