Chicken Chorizo Pollo Con Chorizo Recipes

Steps:

• Season the chicken liberally with paprika.
• Brown the chicken in a pan using the olive oil.
• Remove the chicken.
• Meanwhile chop the chorizo into pieces and add to the pan. (Some peel the 'skin' off, but this is optional. Don't boil the chorizo! Fry it).
• Add and fry the onions with the chorizo; The juices from the chorizo will blend with the onion.
• Add the garlic and continue to cook lightly for a few minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, laurel, sherry, brandy and everything else, including the chicken.
• Cook on the hob or in the oven for another hour, stirring if appropriate. (Or put in the slow cooker for a few hours).
• Serve with boiled potatoes. Peas are a good accompaniment.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet or pot over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add to the skillet along with the chorizo; cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Move the chicken and chorizo to one side of the pan and stir in the tomato paste, rice and capers. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the peas, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Let rest, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Coat the chicken with the paprika, make sure they are covered evenly, then season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet heat the olive oil and cook the chicken pieces until golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add the onion, garlic and chorizo to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, and sherry and bring to a boil. Place the chicken in the pan with the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 40 minutes. After the 40 minutes uncover and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover again and let it simmer for another 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the chorizo in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon; set aside. Reserve the drippings; let cool slightly.
• Combine the chile, scallions, cilantro, garlic, oregano and cumin in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons water, the reserved drippings, the lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse to make a coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a large bowl, add the chicken and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Tear off four 16-inch sheets of parchment paper. Make the packets (see photo gallery): Arrange 3 slices polenta on one sheet of parchment; top with one-quarter each of the bell peppers, chorizo and chicken. Seal as directed. Repeat to make 3 more packets; divide between 2 baking sheets.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until the parchment puffs and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets; sprinkle with the cheese and serve with lime wedges.
