Chicken and Chorizo (Leftovers in Tasty Disguise)
By: twissis
Dec 30, 2007
From the Best Ever Chicken cookbook edited by Linda Fraser & per the intro — "The perfect way to use up leftover cold meats, this spicy dish is a fast & fortifying meal for a hungry family." A cook's note attached to the recipe further states "You can also add cooked ham (or pork), smoked cod (or haddock) & fresh shellfish to this dish." (10-15 min time was allowed for ingredient prep. Cooking time includes 5 min standing prior to serving). Enjoy !

Twissis this is my kind of recipe! Fast and easy on a busy weeknight but very delicious! I loved the spice in this recipe, and believe it or not it was only my second time using Chorizo in my life and I just love it even more! Thanks I wouldn't change anything about this one and will make again.

This recipe was very reminiscent of jambalaya. I had no celery, so added a handful of mushrooms & cooked a chicken breast for the occasion. Great TV dinner on the weekend. Thanks Twissis for sharing this keeper.
