Sloppy Chicken Chorizos Recipes

CHICKEN CHORIZO PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Patties: In a large bowl, gently but thoroughly combine all ingredients. Form into 4 equal-sized thin patties roughly the size of the bread you will be using or in the case of the naan, 1/2 the bread size. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Onions: In a medium saute pan on medium heat melt the butter with the oil. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of pepper, to taste. Saute until the onions are caramelized, about 35 minutes, and set aside.
• Preheat a griddle with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Griddle the patties on the on both sides until crispy on the edges and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and wipe the griddle. Assemble the sandwiches by layering each bread 1/2 with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, onions, and the other bread 1/2, in that order. Brush or add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the griddle and put the sandwiches on the griddle. Press on the sandwich with a spatula to help toast evenly and hold the sandwich together. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with ketchup, for dipping.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
• Lightly grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil and then place the chicken thighs into the dish.
• Tuck the onion wedges underneath the thighs, then season each thigh well with a good grind of pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Pour the chicken stock into the dish then place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes.
• Once 30 minutes is up, add the chorizo then place back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and top with the rosemary. Reduce the heat slightly, give the dish a good stir, before placing back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and gently fry the asparagus, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly browned and softened then remove and serve alongside the chicken.

CHORIZO SLOPPY JOES WITH KALE AND PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Make the chorizo filling for the sandwich. Set a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil into the pan, and when it shimmers and is about to smoke, add the chorizo, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Cook the chorizo, stirring occasionally and continuing to break down its bulk, until the meat has rendered some of its fat and started to brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
• Stir in the cumin, then add the bell pepper, onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables wilt, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and the hot sauce, and bring to a simmer, using the spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom and sides of the skillet. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are very tender, approximately 20 minutes. Keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate and reheat when ready to use.
• To assemble the sandwiches, split and toast the rolls, then place 1 to 2 slices of Provolone on the bottom part of each, and divide the warm chorizo filling on top. Place equal portions of the kale on top of the filling, along with equal portions of banana peppers and olives. Sprinkle each sandwich aggressively with celery seeds, put the top part of the bread on and serve.
