Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, oregano, and chili flakes (if using). Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add the diced tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

  6. 6

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes.

  7. 7

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated cheese if desired. Serve hot.
