How to cook deliciously - Chicken and Chorizo Pasta Bake

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.

3. Stage

Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and chorizo and cook for 5 minutes until the chorizo is hot and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.

Bake 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
