Spicy chicken and chorizo pasta sauce



  • 3 chicken breast fillets chopped
  • 225g whole chorizo (remove paper skin, cut in half and chop into chunks)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 peppers (any colour you happen to have in, cut into chunks)
  • small pinch chilli flakes or powder (to taste)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 jar dolmio or other pasta sauce
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 200ml red wine
  • handful chopped basil
Use a large flatbottomed pan for this one, a big frying pan or a chefs pan is good.

Heat the olive oil on a medium heat and add the onions and garlic and saute slowly until soft and golden brown.

Put in the chicken and cook until all white.  Add the chorizo and fry until it starts to lose a little liquid.  Add the peppers and continue to saute.

Next sprinkle in the paprika and chilli, then add the tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes and red wine.  Simmer for an hour, then just prior to serving add in the chopped basil.
