'Chicken with a 'kick'

This makes a great main course. Serve it up with a side dish of veggies to complete the meal or a refreshing salad.
What you will need:
  • chicken breast
  • 1 large spicy hungarian sausage (if not available you can use any spicy chorizo sausage)
  • one large onion
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 6-8 medium ripe red tomatoes chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 10-12 large white mushrooms chopped
  • handful of fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Cut the chicken breast into halves and set aside. Then mince the garlic and onion and put into a pot with the olive oil. Sauté until the garlic and onion are soft, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken breast, paprika, salt and black pepper and turn until the chicken is slightly cooked. Continue stirring and add the mushrooms and fresh basil into the pot. When mushrooms look soft add the sausage and stir. Final step is to add the chopped tomatoes and let simmer for about 15 minutes on high heat and then turn down the heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
Notes
  • serves 4 hungry tummies
  • makes great leftovers
  • this dish is spicy, I suggest pairing it with a cucumber and yogurt salad.
