Adapting Chicken Basque
Asked on 22 Aug 2021 by Simon01
Hello Lindsey. I'm making Delia's Chicken Basque but to keep everyone happy, I'm substituting the whole jointed chicken with 4 chicken breasts and the browm basmati rice for white. What do you recommend ss a cooking guide?
Also I have one who is allergic to chorizo and alcohol. Can I just omit or can you recommend a substiture.
Thank you.

Hello Eileen,
You need to substitute the alcohol so you could just increase the chicken stock to 450ml.
The chorizo could be omitted or replace with a sausage that you do like or lardons or chopped ham.
Obviously white rice will cook much quicker so when you brown the chicken breasts cook them for longer to give them a head start. Then when you cook the rice with the chicken it will need about 25 minutes.
Kind regards
Lindsey
Perfect. Thank you
