In our house my husband Howard and son Ted love chicken and chorizo sausages. Howard and Ted would eat chicken and sausages all day long if they were given the option. For me, I really enjoy adding spices to my dishes and I love making different flavour combination.
So I decided to put the chicken and chorizo together and add a few spices I would normally use as part of a chilli. Plus I added a couple of extra spices like the Sumac and garlic granules too. I was very unsure of the end result but I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of this dinner. It was so tasty. My little family thoroughly enjoyed this meal. It’s one I will be making again.
Have you ever tried a chilli with slightly different ingredients in? If so, what ingredients were they and more importantly, what did it taste like? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me. Thank you. xxx

Chicken and Chorizo was a huge success in our house. Both Howard and Ted had clean plates by the end of this meal and so did I. We all thought this was a delicious meal that would feed a family or friends very easily. Plus we had leftovers of the sauce so we have stored these in the deep freeze for another yummy meal soon. However you decide to eat this dinner, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
