Chicken & Chorizo Bake
Chicken and Chorizo Bake is one of those mid-week comforting dishes that simply can’t go wrong and never does. It is tasty, slightly spicy and comforting in every way. One thing we should say though is that chorizo really does need to be pronounced correctly. The z in chorizo is pronounced as a ‘th’ so phonetically it would be cho-ree-tho. Even professional chefs seem to find this simple Spanish word difficult to pronounce!
