Aiguillettes de Poulet à la Sauce Crémeuse au Chorizo

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Aiguillettes

1. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
2. 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

1. In the same skillet, add the diced chorizo. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to release its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
2. 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

1. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt.
2. 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.
3. 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

1. 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.
2. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
