Notes
- I use Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe, but you can also use small red potatoes or regular Russet potatoes cut in 1 inch cubes.
- Use Spanish chorizo if you can find it. Spanish chorizo is a hard dried sausage that is found in the deli section of most grocery stores, don't confuse it with the fresh Mexican chorizo!
- I recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
