Ingredients

• 450g (1 lb) chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 225g (8 oz) chorizo, casing removed
• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 150g (1.5 cup) monterey jack or chihuahua cheese, shredded

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

2. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. Add the chorizo to the chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the fat renders and the meat is crispy.
5. Stir in the onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
6. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine until ready to serve.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, cover the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes on low heat until the cheese is completely melted.
