CHICKEN, CHORIZO & CHICKPEA STEW

After living in Madrid for a year I got an addiction to chorizo that I've not quite fully recoved from yet. This is one of the most delicious, heartwarming dishes that leaves you completly satisfied but still wanting more! The flavours really complement each other perfectly and its an absolute dream when enjoyed with good friends and a bottle of red wine
