Something I made the other night to use a few ingredients hiding in the fridge.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, diced fine
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small chorizo sausage, skinned, chopped
200 g skinless chicken thighs, filets diced into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup wine
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
200 ml light cream
1 teaspoon coarse grain mustard, heaped
1/4 cup semi sun-dried tomato, chopped, I used smoked ones
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
cracked black pepper
10 basil leaves, shredded

Directions

1
Heat the oil and cook the onion, garlic and chorizo about 5 minutes or until onion is softened.
2
Add the diced chicken and cook a further 5 minutes or until all changed colour.
3
Pour in the wine and allow to cook off for about a minute, then add the water and stock powder and cook for a couple more minutes until it reduces a little.
4
Pour in the cream and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes until the chicken is well cooked and tender and the sauce is creamy.
5
Just before serving add the must ard, tomatoes, cheese black pepper to taste and the basil leaves.
6
Serve over your favourite pasta.

I made this for the Aussie/Kiwi Swap #17. I was a little leery about the amount of chorizo, so I used less. Next time I will use more! This was yummy and easy to make. My DH said this was a keeper!

One of the best pasta recipes I have made from a zaar member. We absolutely loved this, it was so easy to make and all the flavours come together so well. I made all the ingredients as is excpet I cooked whole breasts. I browned them on both sides, then added them to the sauce at the cream stage, to finish cooking through, sliced and served over the top. A real winner Jan and will definitely become a regular in our house.

This was very good, and quite easy to make! I used Hot Italian sausage, boneless/skinless chicken breasts, and dijon mustard, as that was what I had available. I served it over egg noodles, with a salad on the side. DH loved it! Note: The fresh basil leaves are very important - don't substitute, as I don't think it would be the same!

I made this recipe on Jan's recommendation before it was posted here. The combination of flavours is inspired! This is one of the best recipes we've had from Zaar - it was THAT good! When I cooked it, Jan had only given me the 'bones' of the recipes, so I had no quantities - just the ingredients. I made enough for four serves using 3 green onions, 3 chorizo sausages (sliced), 2 chicken thighs, about a cup of cream and 1/2 cup wine, 1 teaspoon of french mustard, 1/4 cup smoked semi-sun dried tomatoes, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and a really good handful of basil. This made four ample portions. I served it over buttered fresh egg fettucine noodles. The only thing I might be tempted to add next time is some black olives - but really, the recipe doesn't need any tinkering with. It's perfect! Thanks Jan!
