Ingredients

Scale

3/41 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

34 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 Mexican Chorizo links (uncooked), casings removed

1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced

6 ounces white mushrooms, sliced

1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares

1/2 orange bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares

1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares

1/4 cup pimento stuffed large green olives, sliced

1/2 cup aged Sherry vinegar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan and add the garlic. Cook for just a minute until it starts to color. Generously season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook about 3 minutes per side until almost cooked through. Remove to a plate. Add the chorizo and break up. It will literally crumble into tiny bits. Cook for a minute or two and then add the onion to the pan. When the onion begins to caramelize add the mushrooms. When they are almost cooked thoroughly add the bell peppers. While everything is cooking together cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and add to the pan along with the olives. Deglaze the pan with the sherry vinegar and reduce heat to simmer and cook until the sherry vinegar has reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add the cilantro. 

Notes

Serve immediately with a loaf of good sour dough bread. You will want to get every drop of the chorizo sauce with the bread! 

Next time I make this, and there will definitely be a next time, I might add some par cooked red skinned potatoes. Or not.
