Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper, Chorizo, and Sweet Pea Sauce

2 tablespoons of EVOO
1 large onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 pound of chorizo (I removed the casings and mashed it up in the skillet)
2 large garlic cloves
1/2 small carrot, peeled and grated
2 jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
1 10 ounce box frozen peas
1/4 cup fresh parsley



Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of EVOO.  Season the chicken breasts with the paprika, salt, pepper, and the thyme; add the season chicken to the skillet.  Cook the breasts for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.  

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate.  Cover the chicken with aluminum foil.  Put the skillet back over medium-high heat and add the Chorizo.  Cook the chorizo for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently and then add the onion, garlic, carrot, and the roasted red peppers to the skillet.  Season with salt and pepper and cook, always stirring for about 3 minutes.  Add the chicken stock, peas, and parsley and cook for another 2 minutes to warm up the peas.  

Serve the chicken and chorizo together. 

Honestly, I would not make both the chicken and the chorizo together again.  SO MUCH FOOD, and the chorizo is tasty enough as it's own meal.
