Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces Chicken Breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 6 ounces Yellow Onion (basically half an onion)
  • 3 links Mexican Chorizo
  • 1/4 cup Sherry Cooking Wine
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 ounce White Mexican Dipping Original Cheese
  • 1 ounce Half & Half

Instructions
 

  • Chop the onion and dice the garlic.
  • Mix the spices together.
  • Halve the chicken breast (you can bash it out a little thinner if required).
  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook gently until it begins to caramelize, then stir in the garlic and spices.
  • Cook for a minute, stirring continuously, then pour in the sherry.
  • Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated
  • Remove the cooked onion from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the chorizo to the pan and break it up with a spoon whilst cooking over medium heat. Continue to cook until the chorizo is done, (try to get a few crispy bits for added flavor).
  • Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the olive oil to the pan, then add the chicken. Cook until it has a nice, golden crust.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cheese sauce. Simply heat the cheese and cream together gently, stirring until thoroughly combined.
  • Place the chicken on the serving plate, cover with the onion/spice mixture, then spoon the chorizo on top. Finally, top with the cheese sauce.
