Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Aiguillettes
- Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Chorizo and Aromatics
- In the same skillet, add the diced chorizo. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to release its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Create the Creamy Chorizo Sauce
- Add the butter to the pan and let it melt.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, allowing the cream to absorb the flavors of the chorizo. For a slightly thinner sauce, add the chicken broth.
- If using, sprinkle in the smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor. Let the sauce simmer gently on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 4: Combine and Garnish
- Return the cooked chicken aiguillettes to the skillet, coating them in the creamy chorizo sauce. Let them cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and absorb the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serving Suggestions
