➖ Recipe ➖

Chicken & Seasoning - 

1 Tbsp (20ml) - Olive Oil 
600g (1.3lb) - Chicken Tenderloins 
1 tsp (4g) - Onion Powder 
1 tsp (4g) - Garlic Powder 
1 tsp (4g) - Smoked Paprika 
1 tsp (2-4g) - Dried Oregano 
1/2 tsp (2g) - Ground Cumin 
Salt and pepper

Creamy Chorizo Sauce - 

350g (12.3oz) - Chorizo, Chopped (Remove the casing)
2 Tbsp (28g) - Unsalted Butter 
5 - Garlic Cloves, Grated 
3 Tbsp - Concentrated Tomato Paste 
600ml (1 Bottle) - Thickened Cream 
Parmigiana Reggiano to Taste 
Salt and Pepper

Pasta & Garnish - 

400g (14oz) - Pasta of Choice 
Flat-Leaf Parsley 

Method - 

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the packet instructions. Drain through a colander and reserve some pasta water. 

In a bowl, add the chicken and seasoning and mix to combine. Set aside. 

Add the chopped chorizo to a cold pan and place it over medium heat. Cook the chorizo for 5-6 minutes or until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is golden. Remove the chorizo from the pan, reserving the rendered fat. 

Place the pan back over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken tenderloins. Sear the chicken in the rendered chorizo fat for 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove and chop into bite-size pieces. 

Back over medium-high heat, add the butter and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and season to taste. Bring the cream to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 6 minutes or until thickened. Add the chorizo and chopped chicken to the sauce and mix well. 

Add the drained pasta to the sauce and mix until well-coated. Cook for 1 minute. Adjust consistency with the reserved pasta water if needed. Add Parmigiana Reggiano (as much as you like) and mix well. Add flat-leaf parsley (optional) and double-check seasoning. Remove from the stovetop. Dig in.

Looks delicious. I think you could easily add mushrooms and/or spinach to this too.

[ShawhanFarms]

That creamy sauce looks absolutely perfect! The way it coats the pasta and chicken is just mouthwatering. Love how the chorizo adds that extra kick!

[kikieran]

I've just made this. Swapped out the Chorizo for black pudding as I'm not a fan. Oh my days! Jack, you the man! Cheers 🍻

[ewaseweryn]

Another fantastic recipe. Just did this for dinner! Amazing, rich and creamy. I added extra chilli to have a little bit more kick. Thanks a lot for sharing ❤

[topgunm]

I just seasoned with salt and pepper previously but after watching your content I have been using your "go to" combo (as in this video) and it makes the simplest chicken dishes soooo much better.

[joevet]

Doing this for dinner tonight. Thanks!
Edit: Made it. Very good. I used mexican oregano and substituted cilantro instead of parsley. I also used chicken thighs instead of tenders.

[tanyaownsworth]

Definitely on my to do list! Simple, easy, and can add a nice side salad and garlic bread. Thanks Chef Jack 😊

[uniworkhorse]

Been dealing with tenderloins this past year, gotta try that technique!
