We enjoyed this delicious chicken/chorizo dish. I did not have chorizo that could be sliced, but instead used some fresh turkey chorizo. Next time I will use bone-in chicken thighs vs. boneless, but that's just my preference. This made a really nice meal tonight. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag, February, 2014.
