One Pot Spanish Quorn Chicken & Rice [vegan] by The Flexitarian

Full of Mediterranean flavours, this vegan One Pot Spanish Quorn Chicken & Rice makes the perfect midweek fuss-free family dinner or casual entertaining.

Sprinkles of parsley and thyme add a delicious aroma. I’ll make no excuse for my obsession with smoked paprika. It has become a kitchen staple and I would be lost without it. It’s essential here so do not even think about this dish without it.

This classic recipe is made vegan by using frozen Quorn Meat Free Vegan Fillets instead of chicken breast. You can find them in most supermarkets.

This is a very straightforward recipe, just keep an eye on it though and make sure you stir frequently though so that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

    This is a no brainer, so why I’ve never thought of it myself is beyond me! It’s a lovely recipe and super easy to prepare! I only had basmati rice in the cupboard, so that is what I used on this occasion; and I had white onions, so in they went in place of red. Still, this worked out wonderfully, and I’ll definitely be keeping this recipe to hand.

    Absolutely love one pot meals – particularly since my son became a vegetarian, because it seems that I’m always cooking several things that will please everyone each night. This however, is something that we all enjoyed, so thank you for the recipe!

    So easy to make and tastes delicious! My only suggestion would be to slice the chicken fillets into strips for easier cooking and if you like food a little spicier, add some sriracha. Lovely dish.

    Fantastic and easy dish! We loved it, will be making this time and again. Our only change was to use the pieces instead of the fillets.
