Directions

  1. 1Coat both sides of the chicken thighs with the seasoning.
  2. 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).
  3. 3Remove and place on a plate to one side. Lower the heat to medium.
  4. 4Add the onion to the leftover fat in the pan and fry until it begins to soften.
  5. 5Add the chorizo and fry for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
  6. 6Pour 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.
  7. 7Add the stock, cream and parmesan and give it a really good stir to blend everything.
  8. 8Simmer fairly rapidly for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
  9. 9Add the tomatoes, basil and the resting juices from the chicken and gently simmer for a couple of minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  10. 10Turn the heat to low, add the chicken back and spoon over the sauce for a minute or so to warm it through.
