Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced cooked chicken breast
4 ounces chorizo, casings removed and crumbled
1 cup diced potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes), cooked
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs
Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, avocado slices, hot sauce

Instructions

Cook Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Chicken and Chorizo: Add the diced cooked chicken and crumbled chorizo to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and the chicken is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Add the diced cooked potatoes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook, pressing down occasionally, until the potatoes are slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Fry Eggs: While the hash is cooking, fry the eggs in a separate skillet to your desired doneness.
Serve: Divide the chicken and chorizo hash between two plates. Top each serving with a fried egg, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

Variations: Add other vegetables like diced zucchini, corn, or spinach. Use different types of sausage like andouille or Italian sausage. Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Tips: Use pre-cooked chicken and potatoes to save time. Make sure to drain any excess grease from the chorizo after cooking. Don’t overcrowd the skillet, as this will prevent the potatoes from getting crispy.

Allergies/Intolerances: This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free (if not adding optional toppings). Be mindful of potential allergies to nightshades (peppers, paprika) for those with sensitivities.

Taste Preferences: Adjust the amount of chorizo to your liking based on spice preference. For a milder flavor, use a less spicy chorizo. If you like heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
