Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes, without browning. Pour in sherry and mix well, scraping up any bits of chicken stuck to the bottom of the skillet.

Step 2

Add chickpeas, tomatoes, cumin, and hot sauce to the skillet. Stir well, cover, and allow to simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes.
