Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (4 ounce) package sliced chorizo, slices halved
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes, without browning. Pour in sherry and mix well, scraping up any bits of chicken stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add chickpeas, tomatoes, cumin, and hot sauce to the skillet. Stir well, cover, and allow to simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes.
