How to Make Chicken And Chorizo Pasta

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of pasta (gluten-free or regular) according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. While pasta cooks, thinly slice 8 ounces of chorizo sausage. Fry in a large skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove chorizo from skillet and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of rendered chorizo fat in the skillet.
  4. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes) to the skillet with the reserved chorizo fat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Stir in 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite pasta sauce (Classico Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic recommended).
  6. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and the cooked chorizo to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir until well coated with the sauce.
  8. Pour the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese (optional).
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
