Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   ADD CHORIZO OPTION Trim the beans and halve. Finely chop the onion. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Coarsely chop the capsicum. Thinly slice chorizo. Cut the chicken into 3cm chunks and season with salt and pepper. Fill a medium saucepan three-quarters full with water and bring to the boil for the rice and beans.
2. Step 2 — Brown chorizo and chicken
   Put the chorizo in a cold medium deep frypan over medium-high heat and cook, turning, for 4-5 mins until golden. Remove from pan. Heat 1 tbs olive oil in the pan over high heat. Cook the chicken for 1-2 mins each side until golden (the chicken won't be cooked through). Remove from the pan, reserving the pan.
3. Step 3 — Cook rice and beans
   Cook the rice in the pan of boiling water for 9 mins. Add the beans and cook for a further 3 mins or until the rice and beans are tender. Drain.
4. Step 4 — Cook aromatics
   While the rice is cooking, crumble 1 stock cube* into a heatproof jug, add 60ml (¼ cup) boiling water and stir to dissolve. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in the reserved pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, garlic and capsicum, stirring regularly, for 3 mins or until softened.
5. Step 5 — Simmer tomato sauce
   Add the stock, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, 1 tsp white wine vinegar and ½ tsp sugar to the capsicum mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins to develop the flavour.
6. Step 6 — Get ready to serve
   Add the chorizo and chicken with any resting juices to the tomato sauce. Cook, stirring regularly, for 8-10 mins until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir in the olives. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the rice, beans and chicken and chorizo stew among bowls to serve.
