Loved this. We cooked the chicken on the grill and made the sauce on the stove, and it worked beautifully.

Forgot the carrots but this dish still ended up turning out great! Also did not have chicken stock, so used vegetable stock instead - still tasted great. Added a bit more chorizo and peppers than the recipe called for. Will definitely be making again!

First time having chorizo.. We really enjoyed this recipe and didn't feel there was too much heat. Served with green salad and goat cheese crostini as suggested. Will definitely make again.

We all thought this was excellent. There is some prep work to it but this had a lot of good flavors. I actually grilled the chicken outside instead of in a grill pan. I would highly recommend this recipe.

This was a crowd pleaser. Ages 6 to 45 liked it. I like that it wasn't the same boring boneless skinless chicken breast. The chorizo gave it a complex flavor. 4 thumbs up!

Nice flavors and easy for a week night meal. I served it with green salad and the goat cheese crostini recommended. Very tasty.

Delicious!! This is such a great dish so full of flavor! I serve it with black beans made my own special way and that's it...maybe some tortilla chips. Very satisfying and you can use it for tostadas or enchilada filling would be good too.
