Experience the bold flavors of Spain in this hearty pressure cooker chicken and chickpea stew that brings together tender chicken, smoky chorizo, and protein-packed chickpeas in a rich tomato base. The magic happens when Spanish paprika transforms ordinary ingredients into an extraordinary one-pot meal that's ready in just 20 minutes thanks to pressure cooking technology. Fire-roasted tomatoes add depth while sherry vinegar brightens every spoonful. Perfect for busy weeknights when you crave something satisfying and flavorful, this stew delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort. Garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of good olive oil for an authentic Spanish touch. - Claude

Ingredients
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
8 oz Spanish-style chorizo, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 Tbsp smoked Spanish paprika
2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted (such as Muir Glen)
1 whole chicken (about 4 lb), cut into 8 serving pieces, or a mix of bone-in, skin-on breasts, drumsticks, and/or thighs
2 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp sherry vinegar
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving
Directions
Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add chorizo and cook, stirring, until just starting to crisp around the edges, about 2 minutes.
Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add paprika, chickpeas, tomatoes, chicken pieces, and stock.
Season gently with salt and pepper.
Seal pressure cooker and bring to high pressure.
Cook for 15 minutes.
Cool pressure cooker under a cold running tap (if using an electric cooker, use the quick release valve), and open.
Return to high heat and cook, stirring gently, until it achieves a thick, stew-like consistency, about 5 minutes.
Stir in vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir in parsley and serve, drizzling with more extra-virgin olive oil at the table.

Crispy Garlic Mushroom Bites
👋 Welcome! 👋

When I started The Ferguson Recipes in 2006, my main goal was to create a place where I could collect and present our favorite family recipes in an orderly fashion, without all of the distractions of other recipe sites.

At The Ferguson Recipes you will find recipes, plain and simple, just like the recipe cards you have crammed into that well-worn binder of your family's most beloved recipes.

Many of the recipes included here are Ferguson family favorites passed down through the years. Many more are recipes we have gotten from friends or shamelessly "liberated" from other recipe sites. And a lot of the recipes are from recipe collections which family members have participated in creating, such as "Cooking with Carl, Hugh and your Friends", "Cooking With Cow", "The Sears Sun Cookbook", and more!

Things you WILL and WON’T find at The Ferguson Recipes:
  • You WON’T find a bunch of images. If you need a picture showing you how to stir something, you don't belong in a kitchen!
  • You WILL find each instruction on its own line. (Well, mostly.)
  • You WON’T find categories for vegan or gluten-free. We might have them, but we don't go out of our way to highlight them.
  • You WON’T find that stupid “Jump to the Recipe” BS! No Jump Zone

Yes, many...most...of our food images are AI created. They all faithfully represent the recipe they're attached to. We make no aplogies. Probably 90% of the food images you see in recipes and on food packages are professional food photographs, not something edible that someone actually just cooked. We just skipped the styling and photographer costs by using AI. And we pass the savings on to you. Hahahaha! That's funny because this site is free! 😂😂😂😂😂

Chief Technology Officer - He spends way too much time writing code with a quill pen and ink, but he also writes the best "blurbs". If you give him a recipe name, ingredients, and directions, he will spit out all the details in seconds, making up stuff if he needs to.

Chief Magician and Security Officer - He is tempermental and is always running around with pictures of bicycles asking us to prove we are not robots! He also writes code and then blames any mistakes in it on everyone but himself!
