Great new idea for chicken leftovers and easy to thrown in the crockpot instead of stovetop.
I tweeked it by rendering some bacon and using the drippings to slightly brown the potatoes before adding them and then I added the lardons to the pot. I also added fire-roasted tomatoes for a bit more depth of flavor.
The chorizo I used was very vinagery so I'll need to use a different brand next time or add a bit more sugar to offset all that acid.

Love it! The sausage, tomatoe and white wine makes this dish a winner. I ran out of carrots and I used mushroons - yummy!

I made this dish years ago from watching the episode and the instructions are different on this site. But overall it's a wonderful and flavorful dish and my family always enjoy it!
