Method

Step 1 of 4

Set the slow cooker to low. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chorizo and chicken for 5 minutes until golden. Transfer to the slow cooker. 

Step 2 of 4

Tip in the the rest of the olive oil, onion, and garlic to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, or until just softened. Tip in the rice, paprika and tomato paste. Mix until the rice is coated. Stir in chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the slow cooker.

Step 3 of 4

Put everything else in the crock pot except capsicums and peas. Stir thoroughly.

Step 4 of 4

Cook 1 1/2 hours. Add the peas and capsicums. Mix then cook for another 30 minutes or until the rice is tender. You can serve it garnished with lemon wedges and chopped parsley if you prefer.
