A cook's note attached to the recipe further states "You can also add cooked ham (or pork), smoked cod (or haddock) & fresh shellfish to this dish." (10-15 min time was allowed for ingredient prep.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This dish was okay. The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was flavorful. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less chorizo next time.
