Catalan Chicken

Handmade in our kitchens, with succulent chicken breast, chorizo, green pepper & smoked paprika.

When I cook at home I only use the best ingredients & I don't see why it should be any different in kitchens here. It took the team & I nearly two years to find the chorizo used in this dish. It only has four ingredients (pork, paprika, salt & garlic) & I think it tastes fantastic.

Due to colonialism, versions of chorizo can be found in South America, the Phillipines & even Goa.
