Notes
- You don't have to brown the chicken and chorizo, but we like the extra crispiness that it gives. You can just dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook though.
- Add some extra protein to this dish with a can of drained chickpeas.
- A little bit of feta is great on top of this, as it adds some extra saltiness.
- Serve with any kind of grain or some mashed potato. The leftovers are delicious on a crispy baked potato too.
- This should be finished cooked after 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low, however always use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the meat is 74°C/165°F or higher. The dish is ready to serve when the chicken is done.
