Creamy Chicken & Chorizo
Directions
- 1Coat both sides of the chicken thighs with the seasoning.
- 2Add the oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the thighs and fry both sides until lightly charred and cooked right through the centre (4-5 minutes on each side depending on size). If they start charring too aggressively just lower the heat slightly. Remove and place on a plate to one side. Lower the heat to medium.
- 3Add the onion to the leftover fat in the pan and fry until it begins to soften.
- 4Add the chorizo and fry for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
- 5Pour in the wine then raise the heat and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook for around 2 minutes until it almost completely evaporates. Lower the heat slightly.
- 6Add the stock, cream and parmesan and give it a really good stir to blend everything.
- 7Simmer fairly rapidly for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
- 8Add the tomatoes, basil and the resting juices from the chicken and gently simmer for a couple of minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
- 9Turn the heat to low, add the chicken back and spoon over the sauce for a minute or so to warm it through.
