Instructions

Boil a large, salted pot of water and cook pasta al dente according to package directions.
Prep your chorizo and chicken.
Add the chorizo to a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to render its fat and become crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken to the pan. Cook it for a few minutes, stirring periodically.
Add the garlic, wine, and Italian seasoning to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the cream and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through (but take care not to overcook).
Season with salt & pepper, to taste. Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce. Add parsley and parmesan cheese if using.
