Last night I was clearing out my fridge to see what I needed when my kids arrive for the holidays at the end of the week and in preperation for what seems like a feeding frenzy. I ended making the most delicious meal I have had all week and hope you enjoy.
I had some left over penne from the night before and found a chorizo and some other goodies which I needed to use.This fed 3 hungry people with a bit left over so 4 or 5 would be right. It took all of 15 minutes from start to finish.
What you need
Chorizo – about 25cm piece
3/4 large chicken breasts
1 large onion finely chopped
3/4 cloves finely sliced garlic (not crushed)
1 tin chopped peeled tomatos
1 teaspoon paprika (I have smoked paprika which gives it a great falovor)
1 dried chilli (leave this out if you don’t like it hot.
Salt and pepper.
300g penne
The process
Slice the chicken breasts across the grain into failry thin slices (3-4mm) and do the same with the chorizo. Season the chicken well with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the paprika.
In a hot wok or deep frying pan with a little oil, add the onion, garlic, chicken and chorizo and cook for about 5 minutes stirring all the time. When the chicken takes on a whitish color add the tin of chopped tomatos, reducethe heat to low and simmer for about another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toss the cooked penne into the pan or the mixture into the pasta pot and toss until the pasta is coated with sauce. You are done, enjoy
